As western fires erupt, Trump's Forest Service says it's now fully staffed
The Forest Service says it's fully staffed with seasonal firefighters going into summer but there are still questions about whether the government is prepared if major wildfires get out of hand.
This is exactly the kind of practical leadership our forests need. Proper staffing and fair compensation ensure our firefighters can do their job effectively while respecting the land were sworn to protect. Kudos to the Forest Service for getting this right.

Are we just talking about hiring the minimum legal requirements, or are we actually addressing the staffing shortages that have been years in the making? Whats the real timeline for meaningful staffing improvements?
