Congress urged to act on wildfire prevention funding
The San Jose Mercury News argues Congress has failed to address wildfire prevention despite massive 2020 fires across the West. It cites California losses of 4.5 million acres, 31 deaths, 10,000 homes incinerated, and $10.5 billion in damage plus $2.5 billion firefighting costs. It notes proposed bills to boost prescribed burns and fund federal firefighter reclassification, plus Gavin Newsom's $2 billion equipment plan, urging swift action.
