House Dems again seek vote on wildfire bill

November 5, 2014
The bill aims to curb the raiding of non-fire accounts to pay for wildfire suppression when costs exceed an agency's budget. As such, the plan would allow more money to be spent on hazardous fuels reduction and other prevention efforts designed to reduce the number of huge wildfires that have plagued the western U.S. in recent years.
