0:51Now PlayingPresident Joe Biden landed in Idaho Monday as part of a swing through three Western states to promote his administration's use of a wartime law to aid in wildfire preparedness, survey wildfire damage and push his economic agenda.
He arrived at the National Interagency Fire Center in Boise to meet with fire officials and Idaho Gov. Brad Little, a Republican.
More than 1,000 protesters gathered in Boise to express their displeasure about his coronavirus plan, the election and other issues.
Biden also planned stops in Sacramento, California, and Denver during the two-day trip.
The administration activated the Defense Production Act last month to boost supplies from a U.S. Forest Service firefighting equipment supplier.
Wildfire activity has been growing increasingly extreme across the West.
Scientists say climate change has made the region much warmer and drier in recent decades and that it will continue to make wildfires and weather more extreme and destructive.
