0:57Now PlayingSenate Democrats are slamming the Trump administration for cuts to the U.S. Forest Service that they say are to blame for the agency being way behind in its wildfire prevention work.
The Democrats cite a recent analysis by retired firefighters that shows the U.S. Forest Service is 38% behind its own targets for prescribed fires, thinning and other projects aimed at making Western public forests less vulnerable to wildfires. They demanded a response by next week on questions like how many firefighters are actually on the job in wildlands and where specific staffing gaps are causing delays in prevention work.
The Trump administration has maintained its cuts are making the Forest Service more efficient and the agency has what it needs to fight fires.
