FY25 Bureau of Land Management Fuels Management and Community Fire Assistance- Bureau wide: Wildland Fire Fuels Management and Community Assistance Program activities represent strategic investments in managing vegetation by reducing the intensity, severity, or negative effects of wildfire. These initiatives provide cost-effective benefits to the American people, help restore and maintain healthy ecosystems and support communities in becoming fire adapted. Program activities include developing local capacities through assessment and planning, community and homeowner mitigation efforts, and implementation of fuels management treatments and activities. This involves training, monitoring, or implementing/maintaining fuels management on federal land or adjacent non-federal land to benefit federal resources, as well as assisting with wildfire prevention to mitigate risks to communities and their values. Additionally, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has an opportunity to collaborate with partner organizations to support these efforts, reducing the intensity, severity, risk, and impact of catastrophic wildfires on local communities through coordination, hazardous fuel reduction, and further education on wildfire prevention. These activities help create jobs and advance conservation and restoration efforts through planning and implementation of hazardous fuels reduction projects in wildland-urban interface (WUI) areas. This work aligns with the Department of the Interior's priorities to create a conservation stewardship legacy while generating revenue and utilizing natural resources, while also reflecting BLM's commitment to develop and sustain partnerships and streamline processes to serve its customers and the public effectively and efficiently.
