Stop Trump from Sabotaging Wildfire Preparedness

America is heading into another dangerous wildfire season — and Trump is dismantling the very systems meant to protect us.

The Trump administration is shutting down or weakening critical U.S. Forest Service research stations — the scientific backbone that helps communities predict, prepare for, and survive wildfires. At the same time, sweeping agency reorganizations are disrupting coordination across rural America, where wildfire response is often the difference between safety and catastrophe.

This couldn’t come at a worse moment. Federal wildfire outlooks warn that large portions of the country face above-normal fire risk in the coming months. Climate change is already driving hotter, drier conditions that fuel longer and more destructive fire seasons. Experts have been clear: we need more preparation, more research, and more coordination — not less.

Instead, Trump is pulling the rug out from under the very people working to keep us safe.

Tell Congress: “Stop Trump from sabotaging wildfire preparedness. Protect Forest Service research, restore coordination, and fully fund wildfire prevention now.”

Wildfire preparedness is what helps firefighters anticipate fire behavior, helps towns plan evacuations, and helps land managers reduce fuel before disaster strikes. When research stations close and agencies are thrown into chaos, response times slow, risks increase, and lives are put on the line.

Congress can step in to restore funding, block reckless reorganizations, and demand accountability from federal agencies. Lawmakers control the purse strings — and they can force this administration to reverse course before the damage becomes irreversible.

If we stay silent, we risk entering peak fire season blind — without the science, staffing, and coordination needed to protect our communities. But if we act now, we can push Congress to defend the systems that stand between us and disaster.

Add your name now and tell Congress: Stop Trump from sabotaging wildfire preparedness. Restore funding, protect research, and defend our communities before it’s too late.
