Wildfire Coordination Act

HR 3923, the Wildfire Coordination Act, establishes a permanent Wildfire Science and Technology Advisory Board within the U.S. Department of the Interior. The Board coordinates federal wildfire research, translates scientific findings into practical applications, and shares best practices with fire departments, researchers, and tribal/state/local governments through online portals and workshops. It includes 18 non-federal members representing fire services, private sector entities, researchers, and public health experts, alongside senior officials from 15 federal agencies. The bill authorizes $10 million in funding and requires the Board to submit a report to Congress within two years detailing progress, barriers, and future research priorities.
