As US braces for ‘significant' wildfires, Trump's agriculture secretary addresses Forest Service departures
The Trump administration is prepared for what could be a "significant fire season," despite thousands of Forest Service employees departing under Trump's deferred resignation offer, according to U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins. "It did not compromise and will not compromise at all, 1%, what needs to be done to make sure that we are ready," Rollins told Fox News Digital Friday. More than 4,000 U.S. Forest Service employees voluntarily resigned under buyouts offered by the Trump administration, according to a POLITICO report. Wildland firefighters were largely exempt from the buyouts and a federal hiring freeze, but blue state leaders say President Donald Trump's slash-and-burn approach cuts key support staff. "The reality is that Trump has decimated the U.S. Forest Service," Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., said in a May press conference. "Nearly every single Forest Service employee supports fire operations in some capacity." Many of the workers who departed held Red Cards, meaning they have special training to either fight fires or "provide essential frontline support to the firefighting crews," Sen. Jeff Merkley, a Democrat from Oregon, said. But Rollins said the Biden administration wasted taxpayer funds on unsustainable and irresponsible hiring of people who "really had no job description." "That was in the — not hundreds — in the thousands of hirings that went on just in the Forest Service in the last administration," she said, adding that the service is becoming "more lean" but no less effective. Rollins and U.S. Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum signed a memo on May 20 signaling the Trump administration's wildfire response strategy. It calls for the elimination of barriers and "unnecessary procedures" to ensure a rapid response when wildfires threaten life and property. The memo also directs the Forest Service to examine the impact of "voluntary departures" on the firefighting workforce and propose a plan to "remedy critical vacancies." Non-fire staff should also be deployed to support frontline firefighters as wildfire activity increases, allowing for a "more robust and more intentional and more effective force as we move into this season," Rollins said. "But we are not going to waste taxpayer dollars the way that we've seen happen in the past," she said. Wildfires have already scorched more than one million acres across the country so far this year, according to the National Interagency Fire Center. The center's outlook shows higher temperatures and drier conditions than typical across much of the West this summer. "Our prayer is that it won't actually happen, that it will be lighter than usual, but indicators are showing that it actually may be a heavy fire season," Rollins said. She added she's confident Americans will see "an unprecedented level of coordination" among federal, state and local governments as the summer progresses. "There is zero compromising [on] having the most prepared, most effective [firefighters]," Rollins said. "And we'll do everything possible to ensure that they have every tool they need to be successful this season."

CWG Live updates: Heat ramps up this week, while rain is more scarce
Welcome to updated around-the-clock by Capital Weather Gang meteorologists. Happening now: We awaken to chilly upper 40s and 50s before sunshine boosts afternoon highs into the low to mid-70s. What's next? Lots of sunshine and steady warming. Highs near 80 Tuesday, 85 Wednesday and near 90 by Thursday and Friday. Today's daily digit — 9/10: Tough to beat the refreshing start and sunny 70s in the afternoon. But still, some lingering haze from wildfire smoke. | 🤚 Your call? The digit is a somewhat subjective rating of the day's weather, on a 0-to-10 scale. Forecast in detail Today (Monday): It's another unseasonably chilly start — more like October than June with temperatures in the 40s and 50s. But sunshine boosts highs to 70 to 75 degrees this afternoon, with perhaps a thin veil of haze from wildfire smoke. Winds are light from the west. Confidence: Medium-High 😎 Nice Day! Tonight: Skies are mostly clear, and it's crisp and cool. Lows slip to the mid- to upper 50s downtown with upper 40s and low 50s in our cooler areas. Confidence: Medium-High Tomorrow (Tuesday): This is a great-looking early summer day. Sunshine lifts afternoon highs into the upper 70s and low 80s. Breezes are hardly noticeable. A lone wrinkle is the possibility of some haze from intruding wildfire smoke. Confidence: Medium-High 😎 Nice Day! Tomorrow night: Mostly clear and a little less cool than previous nights. Lows settle in the 50s to near 60 downtown. Confidence: Medium-High A look ahead It feels unmistakably like summer Wednesday through Friday. The high temperature each day soars into the upper 80s to near 90, and humidity starts to become noticeable as well (dew points climb through the 60s). Overnight lows are mostly in the 60s except closer to 70 by early Friday. It's mostly dry with partly cloudy skies although we can't totally rule out a shower or storm late Thursday or Friday as humidity increases. Confidence: Medium-High Warm weather hangs around for the weekend, with highs near 90 Saturday and 80 to 85 Sunday. Saturday offers a chance of showers and storms as a cool front comes through. Sunday has a better chance to stay dry and is probably less humid after morning lows in the 60s.
