Overview

The FIRE Act amends the Clean Air Act to clarify how ‘exceptional events’ are defined, particularly in relation to wildfire risk mitigation. It expands the definition to include human-caused events mimicking natural occurrences and prescribed burns, and excludes ordinary air stagnation. The bill also requires the EPA to revise its regulations regarding air quality monitoring data influenced by wildfire mitigation efforts and mandates regional analysis when multiple states petition regarding the same event.
