Trump Implements Major Changes to Wildfire Response

President Trump has signed a series of executive orders aimed at restructuring wildfire prevention and response efforts in the U.S. The initiatives include merging wildland firefighting forces into a single agency, designed to enhance efficiency amidst the escalating wildfire crisis. Despite warnings from former officials regarding potential chaos from this consolidation, the administration is promoting a unified approach to tackle wildfires effectively. Secretary Rollins has expressed support for these bold measures, which also include an emphasis on forest management and budget allocations. Critics are skeptical of the plan, likening it to a hasty move rather than a well-considered strategy.
