Firefighters were robbed while working at the Upper Applegate Fire in Oregon. Gear, saws, and everything else were stolen. Police are searching for suspects.
This morning, a permanent wildfire pay fix was inserted into the DOI appropriations Bill, which also includes other very interesting requests.
From Subcommittee Chair Rep. Mike Simpson: "The bill also provides over $330 million to permanently address Federal wildland firefighter pay and capacity. The permanent pay fix included in this bill will improve firefighter recruitment and retention and provide financial certainty to the men and women protecting our communities from catastrophic wildfire.”
Chief Moore announced hiring restrictions this morning. Hires will now be centralized, and multiple positions require approval from the Chief's office.
The Forest Service has run out of money, and only critical positions will be filled. They have spared fire hire in this new strategic hiring process.
Alaska goes HAM.
Plus a full operational update.
