Key Points
- The Senate officially named May 2025 as National Wildfire Preparedness Month. This effort is meant to help people across the country learn how to protect their homes and communities from the growing threat of fires.
- Wildfires are becoming more dangerous and are happening in places that did not used to have them. On average, more than 62,000 fires burn millions of acres every year, costing the government billions of dollars to fight.
- The resolution encourages families to take action by using fire-safe building materials and clearing dry brush from their yards. It also highlights the importance of having an evacuation plan for people and their animals.
- Since humans cause nearly 85 percent of wildfires, the Senate wants to increase awareness about fire safety. This includes being extra careful with things like campfires, fireworks, and tools that can create sparks during dry seasons.
