Megafire Action

We have the opportunity to end the megafire crisis in the next 10 years, but it will not happen without a bold approach. We’re the first org focused solely on enacting policies to solve this crisis.

Nebraska’s 800,000-acre wildfire crisis proves we can't wait any longer. The bipartisan #FixOurForestsAct isn't just for woods – it’s for our prairies, too. We applaud @SenatorFischer’s committee support. Now it’s time to pass FOFA on the Senate floor. theindependent.com/opinion/column…

Amid the historic and ongoing record heatwave (which will continue for at least another week in this region), Colorado River Basin snowpack has unfortunately taken an unprecedented March nosedive. Given the pre-existing water crisis, this is a highly alarming trajectory.

Big news for our forests! 🌲 The House just passed the bipartisan Save Our Sequoias Act. With 20% of our iconic groves lost to extreme wildfire in 2022, this bill is the lifeline they need. Now, the momentum shifts to the Senate. Let’s get this across the finish line!

If we want widespread adoption of home hardening and defensible space, wildfire resilience has to be affordable. California’s new Joint Megafire Prevention Package includes proposals to help turn wildfire resilience into an affordable monthly payment. californialocal.com/localnews/stat…

Last week @MegafireAction was proud to stand with California State Senators and Assemblymembers announced and prioritize the Joint Megafire Prevention Package, a landmark set of bills that will protect and safeguard CA from future megafires. internationalfireandsafetyjournal.com/megafire-preve…

Fire season in Oklahoma is no longer just a season – it's a year-round reality. 310,000+ acres have already burned in the state this year. James Campbell explains in @TheOklahoman_ why the #FixOurForests Act is the step Congress must take to stop megafires before they start. ⬇️

Standing back and doing nothing while destructive wildfires grow stronger isn’t neutral – it’s a choice with severe consequences for our forests and communities. As our friend Annie Schmidt writes in the @SpokesmanReview spokesman.com/stories/2026/f…

Today I introduced #SB894, the Wildfire Mitigation Affordability Act, to provide a path for more Californians to affordably retrofit their homes to protect themselves and their property from wildfire. @MegafireAction

The science is clear: Destructive wildfires are increasing, forest health is declining, and smart restoration works. It's time for the U.S. Senate to #FixOurForests. eenews.net/articles/press…

In his latest State-of-the-State, @CAGov highlighted the importance of creating a California that is more resilient to heat and fire. At @megafireaction, we applaud this and stand ready to partner in innovative solutions that help prevent these mega fires and natural disasters.

We commend @CAgovernor’s announcement to extend a meaningful provision for California’s expedited forest management initiative, cutting red tape and getting more wildfire safety projects on the ground. gov.ca.gov/2025/12/31/fol…

Thank you @insideclimate for highlighting the need and nuance around the creation of a Unified U.S. Wildland Fire Service. insideclimatenews.org/news/16122025/…

It passed the House. It passed the Senate Agriculture Committee. It’s time for the Senate to Act. Tell your Senator: Pass the #FixOurForests Act, before it’s too late.

Misinformation surrounding forest restoration and fuel reduction treatments continues, but large-scale forest restoration projects are supported by strong scientific evidence. Susan Prichard sets the record straight: methowvalleynews.com/2025/11/13/gue…

Congrats to Chief Brian Fennessy on his appointment! His leadership at OCFA set a high bar, and we’re confident he’ll do the same nationally. We look forward to partnering on stronger federal unification efforts. More in our Oct report: megafire.org/insights?pid=38

In @RCJournal: Megafire Action and AWR Action commend @LeaderJohnThune for helping move the #FixOurForests Act forward. Now is the time – The Senate should move quickly and get this across the finish line.

On the main stage, @MichaelWWara broke down the state of wildfire today, from structure loss and landscape health to workforce needs, prescribed fire, and the tech that can strengthen resilience. Full session now on our website. #redskysummit2025

🔥💡Big news for wildfire innovation! This week, @SenatorLujan @SenJohnCurtis & @RepYoungKim introduced the bipartisan Fire Innovation Unit Act to pilot and deploy cutting-edge wildfire tech. We’re proud to support it. More here: lujan.senate.gov/newsroom/press…
