$1,147,171,000 for Interior wildland fire management
What the document says“For necessary expenses for fire preparedness, fire suppression operations, fire science and research, emergency rehabilitation, fuels management activities, and rural fire assistance by the Department of the Interior, $1,147,171,000, of which $383,657,000 shall remain available until expended”
The wildland fire management account of the Department of the Interior. Of the total, $214,450,000 is for fuels management activities and $10,000,000 is for burned area rehabilitation. The Forest Service has a separate and larger wildland fire account in title III of this division.
What the document actually says“For necessary expenses for fire preparedness, fire suppression operations, fire science and research, emergency rehabilitation, fuels management activities, and rural fire assistance by the Department of the Interior, $1,147,171,000, of which $383,657,000 shall remain available until expended”
Interior fire work gets $1,147,171,000. Of that, $383,657,000 has no end date.
This pays to get ready for fires and to put them out. Fuels work means thinning brush before a fire starts. The Forest Service has its own fire money.
