On Today’s Show:
Full wildfire update.
Fires in Georgia, Florida, New Mexico, and Montana.
USDA Secretary Rollins provides the 2026 wildfire secretarial memo.
It covers priorities for the 2026 fire season and directives for the Forest Service moving forward.
I go over the priorities, including initial attack, surge capacity, secondary fire positions, fuels work, prescribed fire, and more.
Senators sent a letter this week to the USDA demanding answers about the Forest Service reorganization. There are some very valid questions about R&D, clarifications on office locations, and employee duty stations.
I cover all that and more.
