Washington Lands Officials Promote Wildfire Prevention In Spokane County

Washington House Approves Wildfire Prevention/Resilient Forest Bill

SPR s Doug Nadvornick reports. The Washington House on Tuesday unanimously approved a wildfire prevention and forest health bill and sent it to the Senate. Among other things, the bill would create a fund that would receive $125 million each biennium. That would pay for programs that help to make communities and forested areas less susceptible to wildfires, says Lands Commissioner Hilary Franz. She says the state sometimes spends more than $150 million each year to suppress wildfires. “Across the state, legislators east and west, Republicans and Democrats, believe this is exactly what we should be investing in and that we have got to do something to change the trajectory. We can’t continue to have the years we’ve had in 2020, 2018, 2017, 2016. The list goes on, she said.

Wildfire And Forest Health Bill Receives Hearing In Washington Legislature

SPR s Doug Nadvornick reports. Last fall’s wildfires were invoked Friday at a hearing for a new forest health bill in the Washington legislature. The bill is proposed at the request of Lands Commissioner Hilary Franz, who reminded members of a House committee that 2020 was the worst wildfire season in years in Washington. More than 80,000 acres burned, about three-fourths of that around Labor Day when high winds blew several wildfires around the state out of control. Franz said the conditions that made that week so destructive have been present for years. “When it comes to wildfire, we cannot afford to keep kicking the can down the road, hoping that next year will be different from the last. We cannot afford to be making hope and luck our strategy to protect our communities and our firefighters, she said.
