Senator Heinrich requests improved support for wildland firefighters following concerns about understaffing and administrative duties.
Quiver AI Summary
U.S. Senator Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.) has called on the U.S. Departments of Agriculture (USDA) and the Interior (DOI) to ensure that wildland firefighters receive adequate resources and support. This follows reports indicating that staffing reductions have forced firefighters into administrative and janitorial tasks, jeopardizing firefighting efforts during peak season.
In a letter to the secretaries of both departments, Heinrich expressed concern about the current understaffing situation, stating, "Firefighters reportedly have been thrown into serving in administrative and janitorial roles—ranging from cleaning campground bathrooms to answering front desk calls." He emphasized that this could compromise public safety.
Heinrich's letter also requests data regarding staffing levels and the impact of the Deferred Resignation Program on firefighting personnel, urging a thorough review of current challenges amid the ongoing wildfire season.
