Wildfire and Forest Resilience Package

2023 2024 info

Summary In this brief, we provide our initial assessment and
recommendations on the Governor's proposed wildfire and forest
resilience package, based on the information available at the time the
brief was prepared. We may provide additional analyses as additional
information becomes available from the administration.

bottom line - they seem to be spending much more money - but much of
it seems to be going to conservation groups - not Cal Fire

also - urban forestry spending was cut

afaik - Cal Fire has not had major increases in their funding - they
still run 350 engines + 12 helos + 12 air tankers approx - possibly
the inmate hand crews have been replaced by Cal Fire hand crews
