The legislation requires the U.S. Forest Service to aggressively attack fires when they are first detected in forests that pose a severe fire hazard. McClintock first introduced this legislation after the disastrous <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tamarack_Fire\">Tamarack fire<\/a> that was allowed to burn for 12 days before it exploded out of control and destroyed 70,000 acres of forestland in Alpine County in 2021.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is dangerous nonsense to \u201cmonitor\u201d incipient fires in today\u2019s forest tinderbox, even if they seem to pose no immediate danger,\u201d McClintock told the committee. \u201cNo person in his right mind would \u201cmonitor\u201d a rattlesnake curled up in his bedroom because it isn\u2019t doing much of anything. He would kill it before it does.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The bill received support from several witnesses who appeared before the <a href=\"https:\/\/naturalresources.house.gov\/\">Natural Resources Committee<\/a> when it held a field hearing on forest health in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nps.gov\/yose\/planyourvisit\/yv.htm\">Yosemite Valley<\/a> last month.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think we are finally developing a bi-partisan consensus that our Forests cannot be surrendered to policies of benign neglect, and that includes the need to extinguish small blazes before they can become big ones,\u201d McClintock said. \u201cIf prescribed burns are necessary, they should be carefully planned and not left to chance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The bill also requires that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fire.ca.gov\/what-we-do\/natural-resource-management\/prescribed-fire\">prescribed burns<\/a> that exceed their planned boundaries be immediately extinguished, and requires the approval of the incident commander before backfires can be set by ground crews.<\/p>\n<p>The legislation will next go to the House Floor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(InEDC) Jennifer Cressy, Washington, D.C. \u2013 H.R. 934 by Rep.
