Tim Sheehy, R-Montana, and Maria Cantwell, D-Washington, seeks to establish a fire weather program at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The Department of Government Efficiency cut employees at the National Weather Service earlier this year, though the Trump administration has since sought to rehire them. In addition, the bill would also “establish and maintain” an Incident Meteorologist Service within the National Weather Service. Fires have been a focus for Sheehy, with the Fire Ready Nation Act his second piece of fire legislation that’s passed the body unanimously. Prior to his Senate term, Sheehy co-founded Bridger Aerospace, an aerial firefighting company that operates a fleet of water-scooping aircraft.
