PORTLAND â U.S. Forest Service leaders got a message from their top boss Wednesday.
Chief Vicki Christiansen, the agencyâs leader, announced that all Forest Service workers should immediately refocus their time and energy to address the countryâs worsening wildfire season.
Fires were resisting control efforts, she said, and the West was bracing for more extreme weather in the coming months.
âWe expect demand for resources to outpace resource availability, and our workforce remains fatigued and in need of recovery following last yearâs record-setting fire season, an active hurricane season, and strenuous efforts to respond to the COVID-19 Pandemic,â Christiansen said in the letter.
