From the Missoulian: "The Government Accountability Office on Tuesday released a report highly critical of federal efforts to rein in the cost of fighting wildfires, while some senators pushed the agencies to more actively manage forests to prevent fires."
The Government Accountability Office (GAO) report, "Wildland Fire Management: Lack of Clear Goals or a Strategy Hinders Federal Agencies' Efforts to Contain the Costs of Fighting Fires," is available on the GAO website.
The report was presented at a hearing of the Senate Committee on Energy & Natural Resources. The hearing webpage includes links to prepared testimony from witnesses and an archived webcast.
