It's great to see the USWFS using tools like prescribed burning, exhibiting fire service, not just fire suppression. We hope that ecological fire management continues to be a part of USWFS's work!
U.S. Wildland Fire Service@USWFS

Reducing hazardous fuels in the wildland urban interface? On it. Alongside our interagency partners from the San Juan National Forest and the Colorado Division of Fire Prevention and Control, our wildland fire personnel from Colorado, Utah, and New Mexico successfully implemented a prescribed fire for the Bureau of Land Management Tres Rios Field Office. Over a two-day window, wildland fire crews used a combination of hand ignition and drone aerial ignition to complete 300 acres of hazardous fuels reduction in the wildland urban interface near Durango, Colorado. Projects like this are critical for reducing wildfire risk and protecting nearby communities. Photos by Casey Gorsett @COStateFire @forestservice @BLMNational

It's going to be an exceptionally long, hot, dry, smoky summer. Meanwhile, lots of uncertainty and anxiety among federal firefighters awaiting more info about their roles in Trump's US Wildland Fire Service. Bad combo: climate chaos + Trump tyranny. insideclimatenews.org/news/27032026/…

Last year FUSEE urged Congress to fund an independent study of the costs and impacts of Trump's fire consolidation scheme--to take a hard look before Trump leaps. Nearly a year later, Trump is just starting the hiring process for a contract researcher. eenews.net/articles/trump…

Questions are mounting about the mission, structure, and function of Trump's US Wildland Fire Service, but no answers are forthcoming even when asked by Congress. Meanwhile, concerns are bubbling up from the firefighters conscripted into the USWFS... eenews.net/articles/quest…

Wildfire season is upon us, but Trump's new federal firefighting force, the US Wildland Fire Service, is still 'flailing' to launch. It seems that moving fast and breaking things on your own without plans made with partners results in...breaking things. republic.land/fire-season-st…

Categorical exclusions (C.E.) for large-scale federal projects are fundamentally anti-democratic and always anti-environmental. Trump and his industry allies are waiting for the next wildfire disaster to pounce with C.E.s in FOFA, Farm Bill, etc. insideclimatenews.org/news/14032026/…

In the face of a twin climate-wildfire crisis we need to act urgently and wisely, not react blindly. The feds' abuse of categorical 'excusions' (sic) to shortcut environmental analysis, public input, and legal accountability should end. Courts now agree. loe.org/shows/segments…

Trump claims ending the Roadless Rule will aid wildfire prevention and suppression. But it will expand the number of human-caused wildfires and add to the risks and burdens of wildland firefighters. Roadless wildlands need protection, not extraction. streetroots.org/news-stories/2…

"Fire suppression will always remain a core mission. But the most effective wildfire strategy will also recognize that fire itself... is one of the most powerful tools we have to reduce future wildfire risk." Read our latest Spotfire! Blog: tinyurl.com/FUSEEBlog

It's both humbling and inspiring to know that humans do not have a species monopoly on the use of fire to modify habitat. FUSEE's mascot, Freeda FireHawk, is a lovely poster and sticker for sale in our Fire Shop: fusee.org/fire-shop

Durante gerações, comunidades aborígenes do norte da Austrália relataram que algumas aves de rapina espalham fogo de forma deliberada para facilitar a caça. Durante muito tempo, esses relatos foram tratados apenas como conhecimento tradicional, mas passaram a ser investigados cientificamente. Em 2017, um estudo publicado no Journal of Ethnobiology, liderado pelo pesquisador Mark Bonta, reuniu múltiplas observações independentes feitas por bombeiros florestais, guardas ambientais, pesquisadores e moradores locais, documentando esse comportamento em três espécies: Milhafre-pret0 (Milvus migrans) Milhafre-assobiador (Haliastur sphenurus) Falcão-pardo (Falco berigora) Segundo o estudo, essas aves foram observadas carregando gravetos em chamas com o bico ou as garras e soltando-os em áreas secas, à frente de frentes ativas de incêndio, provocando novos focos de fogo. Esse comportamento faz com que pequenos animais fujam da vegetação, facilitando sua captura. Os pesquisadores destacam que o conhecimento tradicional dos povos indígenas australianos, que chamam essas aves de “falcões do fogo” (firehawks), foi fundamental para orientar as investigações científicas sobre o fenômeno.

Ramping up fossil fuel burning and wildfire suppression is like spraying gasoline from a fire hose on flames. The Trump Administration wants it both ways: drill, baby, drill, and fight, fight, fight! The outcome: burn, baby, burn. nytimes.com/2026/02/27/cli…

Trump is already burning bridges of international cooperation among wildland fire services in Canada, Mexico, and Australia. When we ask for help, will they respond? Now they have another reason to refuse: the whole world is burning all at the same time. vox.com/climate/479563…

Dem leaders of key House and Senate committees state their strong opposition to Trump's U.S. Wildland Fire Service. drive.google.com/file/d/1L2qc9X… This seems to be more than another performative "strongly worded letter." But what are the consequences for the Admin's non-reply?

Trump basically dares Congress to stop his use of taxpayer funds for his new federal firefighting force. Wildfire season is already here, and the continuing cuts, chaos, and confusion afflicting fed firefighters will hit Congress's constituents hard! govexec.com/management/202…

Trump's new federal firefighting force, the US Wildland Fire Service, is an unfunded mandate that Congress refused to fund. Trump believes that as the Unitary Executive, he can spend taxpayer money any way he wants, including his new "Fire Force." columbiagorgenews.com/news/interior-…

A virtual townhall meeting for DOI firefighters is happening today to answer questions about the mission & organizational structure of the USWFS. Since planning for the USWFS has been a top-down, top-secret affair, there are more questions than answers! vox.com/climate/477719…

Dr. Dave Calkin, retired USFS wildland fire scientist, gave great testimony at today's House hearing on FOFA. Among his best: "There is no substitute for fire in our wildlands. We need fire in those landscapes." FOFA's logging agenda denies that fact. insideclimatenews.org/news/03022026/…
