Bill overview
The National Prescribed Fire Act of 2025 aims to increase the use of prescribed fires on federal lands to improve forest health, reduce wildfire risk, and support cultural burning practices. Over the next 10 years, the Departments of Agriculture and the Interior are required to conduct prescribed fires on federal land, increasing acreage by 10% annually. The bill also establishes a collaborative program to provide financial assistance for prescribed fire projects, encourages cooperation with states and tribes, and expands employment opportunities for prescribed fire practitioners. Finally, the EPA will coordinate with state and local agencies to assess the environmental impacts of prescribed fire activities.
