To keep Washington from facing another devastating fire season, Public Lands Commissioner Hilary Franz is asking the state legislature to create a dedicated fund for firefighting, forest restoration and community response.
This marks the second year the state Department of Natural Resources has pushed for legislation to expand Washington’s firefighting efforts. This time DNR is seeking $125 million every two years, during a legislative session complicated by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Despite past efforts falling short, Franz is hopeful lawmakers will take fires seriously this year, after more than 800,000 acres burned in Washington’s 2020 fire season.
“We’ve been here before,” Franz said at a news conference. “After every wildfire season, we’ve heard the calls for action on wildfire funding give way to the cycle of tragedy, inaction. We’re here today to break that cycle.”
