I support your efforts on H.R. 1586.

To every single Member of the Congress in this room, it is your constituents who will be put in danger if there is injunction of fire retardant.

And we should be ashamed, totally ashamed, when we let our public lands grow up to where they are fire hazards...

The ACRES Act is a simple solution to hold our Federal agencies accountable, to see the actual work they are doing will reduce the enormous risk of wildfire.

Yes, and we are so far behind, though, now it is really hard to introduce the fire, so we have to do a lot more mechanical harvest and find a narrow window of time in the winter or whatever that you can actually burn things, which I…

So, we are talking about a pretty safe material here. And those folks that are trying to thwart that are really putting a lot of land, a lot of acres, a lot of wildlife, and a lot of people and communities in great harm.

I appreciate your leadership on this critical issue and that the legislation has strong bi-partisan support.

We must be able to fight wildfires with everything we have, and limiting firefighting agencies' ability to do so flies in the face of forest conservation and our mission to protect nearby residents.

the bogging down is what is causing us to lose.

We applaud the introduction of H.R. 1586, a bipartisan bill that will support our nation's wildland firefighters...

It seems to make perfect sense, the correlation there between fire and the overloaded inventory.

Congressman LaMalfa's bipartisan Forest Protection and Wildland Firefighter Safety Act will ensure our land managers are able to continue to use fire retardant to save lives, protect communities, and contain wildfires.
