The main purpose of this legislation, known as the PREPARE Act, is to improve the response to early-season wildfires by establishing protocols for prepositioning aerial firefighting resources. This aims to enhance the effectiveness of wildfire suppression efforts, particularly for fine fuel fires that can spread quickly and become dangerous. Key provisions of the Act require the Secretaries of Agriculture and the Interior to create a pilot program focused on specific states: Nebraska, Colorado, Kansas, South Dakota, and Wyoming.
