Here is the statement that I just got from NIOSH on the status of the National Firefighter Registry for Cancer, perhaps the most ambitious effort to date to understand the firefighting-cancer connection. This is a huge deal.

And I believe a CDC study for cancer in firefighters just had all the funding pulled by the administration and doge.

Depending on the location lots of people need firewood to heat their homes and wildfires either burn up accessible wood or create lots of wood gathering opportunities. Often both. People can start firewood banks and help split and stack wood for deliveries.

A little good news: no outstanding resource requests and available prepo’s in SoCal. All federal air tankers committed and a large portion of federal rotor wing fleet too. Containment going up.

Serious props to your comms team that put this together. Solid work!

Congress has two opportunities to make the pay raises for federal wildland firefighters permanent (the approps bill or the disaster supplemental). Its time to get it done and give firefighters fair pay.

If you live in a low-income community and face wildfire threats, the Forest Service is now taking applications for Community Wildfire Defense Grants today through February! www.fs.usda.gov/managing-lan...

My latest piece on how we must learn to live with fire and use it as a strategic advantage to make forests healthy and prevent catastrophe.
