Did you know, fire in the forest isn't always a bad thing? 🌲🔥

In this op-ed by Neil Chapman, Flagstaff's Wildfire Battalion Chief, learn about the Fix Our Forests Act, a bill aimed at preserving good wildfires and increasing scientifically backed forest management.

This nationwide act would allow for smoother coordination between federal, state, local, and tribal agencies when combatting wildfires, establish a Wildfire Intelligence Center, and provide more efficient avenues for proactive forest management.

To read more about the Fix Our Forests Act, read the full article at the link in our bio.
