WASHINGTON, D.C. — In case you missed it, U.S. Senators Alex Padilla (D-Calif.) and John Curtis (R-Utah) authored a new op-ed in The Hill calling for urgent, bipartisan action to address the growing megafire crisis and strengthen the nation’s wildfire prevention and response strategy. In the op-ed, the Senators reflect on the devastating toll of recent wildfires across the West and warn that the United States remains dangerously underprepared for the next major disaster.
