6:44Now PlayingReports claim due to the chaos within Congress it is not likely that the President Biden pushed pay increase for firefighters will be approved to continue beyond November, which could trigger mass quitting as nationwide wildfires get worse each year. Rayyvana and Sen. Nina Turner break it down on The Damage Report.

A temporary pay bump for federal firefighters is slated to end in November, raising fears that up to 50% of the workforce could quit as the country faces more extreme wildfires
"Next month, thousands of federal firefighters may face a dreaded scenario that they've long sought to avoid: hefty pay cuts.
And the cuts could reduce staffing levels among the federal workforce, potentially imperiling one of the country's most significant lines of defense against wildfires, which have become more prevalent in recent years.
Last year, federal wildland firefighters were afforded additional pay through a short-term measure, with the heightened salaries seen as a way to retain and draw in workers.
But federal officials are now saying that a wave of firefighters could leave their positions in search of better-paying roles if the pay increases are not made permanent, according to The Times."
