High winds and dry conditions reportedly sparked the wildfire. The blaze spread in the Hatcher Mountain Road and Indigo Lane area, local media reports said Wednesday. The Sevier County Emergency Management Agency urged residents in Hatcher Mountain Road, Indigo Lane and Shagbark or Preserve area to evacuate. Authorities also set up a shelter at Pigeon Forge Community Center, 170 Community Center Drive in Pigeon Forge. Anyone within a 1-mile radius of Indigo Lane in Wears Valley should evacuate immediately. This includes but is not limited to anyone on Hatcher Mountain Road and any roads that lead off of Hatcher Mountain Road, the Sevier County Emergency Management Agency said in the evacuation notice. Earlier Wednesday, Sevier County warned of a strong storm system approaching. Due to low humidity and high bursts of wind, a red flag warning was established. The National Weather Service issued a high wind warning for the mountains with sustained winds anticipated between 35 to 45 mph with gusts up to 80 mph. The Great Smoky Mountains National Park also issued a high wind warning and stated it planned to close several roads across the park. Newfound Gap Road, between Gatlinburg and Cherokee, was closed at 8 a.m. Wednesday. At this time, the high winds are anticipated to affect primarily the Tennessee side of the park, the park wrote on its Facebook page. Road closures may occur earlier than expected and additional roads may close as conditions warrant... Hikers are advised to avoid hiking during this time period across the park, particularly in areas with standing dead trees. The Tennessee Emergency Management Agency has asked the Tennessee Army National Guard to help fight the fire by air, according to Lt. Col. Darrin Haas, the director of public affairs for the Tennessee Army National Guard. Officials with the Tennessee Division of Forestry, the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Sevier County Fire Department, Seymour Volunteer Fire Department, the Pigeon Forge Fire Department, the Tennessee Highway Patrol, Waldens Creek VFD and the Wears Valley VFD are all responding to the scene.","portalUser":{"id":"kQKU5wG2FUA","name":"Opoyi Central","username":"opoyicentral","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_6k77dlSYd.jpg","role":2,"userType":1},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":{"latitude":"36.0931","longitude":"-87.5147","name":"Tennessee City, TN, USA","city":"Dickson"},"keywords":"Tennessee,Indigo Lane,Hatcher Mountain Road,Wears Valley,Sevier County,brush fire,evacuation,road closures","originalPublishedOn":"2022-03-31T01:00:00+05:30"}},{"node":{"id":"bfeUWwV2TiHG","slug":"english/colorado-wildfire-19000-people-asked-to-evacuate-as-blaze-spreads","slugV2":"world/colorado-wildfire-19000-people-asked-to-evacuate-as-blaze-spreads-219103/","title":"Colorado wildfire: 19,000 people asked to evacuate as blaze spreads","postType":1,"coverMedia":"/opoyi_nxUbwJgOR.jpg","coverCaption":"Smoke billows from a wildfire Saturday, March 26, 2022 in Marshall, Colorado.

As climate change heats up and dries out the West, administration officials said they have crafted a $50 billion plan to more than double the use of controlled fires and logging to reduce trees and other vegetation that serves as tinder in the most at-risk areas. They said work will begin this year and the plan will focus on regions where out-of-control blazes have wiped out neighborhoods and sometimes entire communities — including California’s Sierra Nevada mountains, the east side of the Rocky Mountain in Colorado, and portions of Arizona, Oregon and Washington state. Also Read | Typhoons, wildfires, missiles: Teen flies solo round world,“You're going to have forest fires. The question is how catastrophic do those fires have to be, Agriculture Sec. Tom Vilsack told the Associated Press in advance of a planned public announcement of the administration’s wildfire strategy at a Tuesday event in Phoenix. “The time to act is now if we want to ultimately over time change the trajectory of these fires,” Vilsack said. Specific projects weren't immediately announced, and it’s not clear who would pay for the full scope of work envisioned across almost 80,000 square miles (200,000 square kilometers) — an area almost as large as Idaho. About half that area is privately-owned or controlled by states or tribes, making their participation in the plan crucial. ,Also Read | PG\u0026E power lines blamed for California wildfire that burned over 1,300 homes,Reaching that goal would require an estimated $20 billion over 10 years for work on national forests and $30 billion for work on other federal, state, tribal and private lands, said Vilsack spokesperson Kate Waters. Vilsack acknowledged that the new effort will also require a “paradigm shift” within the U.S. Forest Service, from an agency devoted to stamping out fires, into one that uses what some native Americans call “good fire” on forests and rangeland to prevent even larger blazes. Forest Service planning documents indicate the work will focus on “hotspots” that make up only 10% of the fire-prone areas across the U.S. but account for 80% of risk to communities because of their population densities and locations. ,The recently-passed federal infrastructure bill put a down payment on the initiative — $3.2 billion over five years that Vilsack said will get work going quickly. Also Read | More than 1700 died due to extreme weather in India in 2021: IMD,Wildfire expert John Abatzoglou said lessening fire dangers on the amount of land envisioned under the administration's plan is a “lofty goal that represents even more acreage than burned over the past 10 years across the West. But Abatzoglou, a University of California Merced engineering professor, said the focus on wildfire hazards closest to communities makes sense. “Our scorecard for fire should be about lives saved rather than acres that didn’t burn,” he said. Dealing with western wildfires is becoming increasingly urgent as they get more destructive and intense. There have been rare winter blazes in recent weeks, including infernos in Montana and Colorado, where a wildfire on Dec. 30 tore through a suburban area and destroyed more than 1,000 buildings, leaving one person dead and a second still missing. ,Also Read | Earth hits 6th warmest year on record in 2021,And there’s no signs of a let-up in conditions that keep the risk of wildfires extremely high. A long-term “megadrought” is gripping the region and scientists forecast temperatures will keep rising as more climate-changing carbon emissions are pumped into the atmosphere. ,The impact stretches far beyond the western U.S. because massive smoke plumes at the height of wildfire season in the U.S. and Canada spread the health effects across North America — sending unhealthy pollution last summer to major cities from San Francisco to Philadelphia and Toronto. For decades the primary approach to containing and extinguishing forest fires was to try to stamp them out. The efforts have been similar to massive, military-like campaigns, including planes, fleets of heavy equipment and thousands of firefighting personnel and support workers dispatched to the fire zones. ,Also Read | US missed its climate targets as greenhouse emissions rose in 2021: Report,However, fires are a part of the natural cycle for most forests, so putting out them left stands of trees that didn't burn surrounded by dead wood, underbrush and other highly-flammable fuels — a worst-case scenario when blazes ignite. Critics have said U.S. agencies are too fixated on fighting fires and that trying to solve the problem by cutting more trees will only harm the forests. In South Dakota's Black Hills, for example, government biologists have said that too many trees dying from a combination of insects, fire and logging have made current timber harvest levels unsustainable. But Vilsack said a combination of tree thinning and intentionally set fires to clear undergrowth that are called prescribed burns will make the forests healthier in the long run while reducing the threat to public safety. ,He said forests that had been thinned near Lake Tahoe and its tourism gateway community of South Lake Tahoe were credited with slowing the advance of the massive Caldor Fire last summer that prompted evacuations of tens of thousands of residents and tourists from the iconic region. ,A similar phenomenon played out during Oregon's Bootleg fire last July, which burned more than 600 square miles (1,500 square kilometers) but did less damage in parts of the forest that had been thinned over the past decade. “We know this works, Vilsack said. “It's removing some of the timber, in a very scientific and thoughtful way, so that at the end of the day fires don't continue to hop from tree top to tree top, but eventually come to ground where we can put them out.","portalUser":{"id":"kQKU5wG2FUA","name":"Opoyi Central","username":"opoyicentral","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_6k77dlSYd.jpg","role":2,"userType":1},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":{"latitude":"45.7833","longitude":"-108.5007","name":"Billings, MT, USA","city":"Billings"},"keywords":"United States, US, Wildfires, Rocky Mountains, Colorado, California, US West, climate change, Biden administration, Sierra Nevada, Forest Service","originalPublishedOn":"2022-01-18T22:03:01+05:30"}},{"node":{"id":"aVGC0zEFpI4B","slug":"typhoons-wildfires-missiles-teen-flies-solo-round-world","slugV2":"world/typhoons-wildfires-missiles-teen-flies-solo-round-world-209880/","title":"Typhoons, wildfires, missiles: Teen flies solo round world","postType":1,"coverMedia":"/opoyi_NN02-FdsQqj.jpg","coverCaption":"Belgian-British teenager Zara Rutherford takes off in her Shark ultralight plane at the Kortrijk-Wevelgem airfield in Wevelgem, Belgium.

Families forced to flee the flames with little warning returned to their neighborhoods Friday to find a patchwork of devastation. On some blocks, homes reduced to smoking ruins stood next to ones practically unscathed by the fires. “For 35 years I walked out my front door, I saw beautiful homes,” Eric House said. “Now when I walk out, my home’s standing. I walk out my front door and this is what I see.”,Also Read | Colorado wildfires burn hundreds of homes, force evacuations,At least seven people were injured, but remarkably there have been no reports of any deaths or anyone missing in the wildfire that erupted Thursday in and around Louisville and Superior, neighboring towns about 20 miles (32 kilometers) northwest of Denver with a combined population of 34,000. More than 500 homes were feared destroyed and now homeowners face the difficult task of rebuilding amid a global shortage of supplies brought on by the two-year pandemic. “In the way the economy is right now — how long is it gonna take to build all these houses back?” asked Brian O’Neill, who owns a home in Louisville that burned to the ground. Cathy Glaab found that her home in Superior had been turned into a pile of charred and twisted debris. It was one of seven houses in a row that were destroyed. “The mailbox is standing,” Glaab said, trying to crack a smile through tears. She added sadly, “So many memories.”,Despite the devastation, she said they intend to rebuild the house she and her husband have had since 1998. They love that the land backs up to a natural space, and they have a view of the mountains from the back.

On Friday, Dixon, his wife and son found it mostly gutted with a gaping hole in the roof but still standing. “We thought we lost everything,” he said, as he held his mother-in-law’s china in padded containers. They also retrieved sculptures that belonged to Dixon’s father and piles of clothes still on hangers. ,As the flames swept over drought-stricken neighborhoods with alarming speed, propelled by guests up to 105 mph (169 kph), tens of thousands were ordered to flee. ,The cause of the blaze was under investigation. Emergency authorities said utility officials found no downed power lines around where the fire broke out. With some roads still closed Friday, people walked back to their homes to get clothes or medicine, turn the water off to prevent the pipes from freezing, or see if they still had a house. They left carrying backpacks and pulling suitcases or wagons down the sidewalk. David Marks stood on a hillside overlooking Superior with others, using a pair of binoculars and a long-range camera lens to see if his house, and those of his neighbors, were still there, but he couldn’t tell for sure whether his place was OK. He said at least three friends lost their homes. Also Read | Powerful photos from 2021 that sum up climate change, weather crises,He had watched from the hillside as the neighborhood burned. “By the time I got up here, the houses were completely engulfed,” he said. “I mean, it happened so quickly. I’ve never seen anything like that. … Just house after house, fences, just stuff flying through the air, just caught on fire.”,By first light Friday, the towering flames that had lit up the night sky had subsided and the winds had died down. Light snow soon began to fall, and the blaze, which burned at least 9.4 square miles (24 square kilometers), was no longer considered an immediate threat. “We might have our very own New Year’s miracle on our hands if it holds up that there was no loss of life,” Gov. Jared Polis said, noting that many people had just minutes to evacuate. President Joe Biden on Friday declared a major disaster in the area, ordering federal aid be made available to those affected. The wildfire broke out unusually late in the year, following an extremely dry fall and amid a winter nearly devoid of snow so far. Boulder County Sheriff Joe Pelle said more than 500 homes were probably destroyed. He and the governor said as many as 1,000 homes might have been lost, though that won’t be known until crews can assess the damage. “It’s unbelievable when you look at the devastation that we don’t have a list of 100 missing persons,” the sheriff said. The sheriff said some communities were reduced to just “smoking holes in the ground.” He urged residents to wait for the all-clear to go back because of the danger of fire and fallen power lines. Superior and Louisville are filled with middle- and upper-middle-class subdivisions with shopping centers, parks and schools. The area is between Denver and Boulder, home to the University of Colorado. Scientists say climate change is making weather more extreme and wildfires more frequent and destructive. Ninety percent of Boulder County is in severe or extreme drought, and it hasn’t seen substantial rainfall since mid-summer. Denver set a record for consecutive days without snow before it got a small storm on Dec. 10, its last snowfall before the wildfires broke out. Bruce Janda faced the loss of his Louisville home of 25 years in person Friday. “We knew that the house was totaled, but I felt the need to see it, see what the rest of the neighborhood looked like,” he said. “We’re a very close knit community on this street. We all know each other and we all love each other. It’s hard to see this happen to all of us.”","portalUser":{"id":"kQKU5wG2FUA","name":"Opoyi Central","username":"opoyicentral","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_6k77dlSYd.jpg","role":2,"userType":1},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":{"latitude":"39.9528","longitude":"-105.1686","name":"Superior, CO, USA","city":"Louisville"},"keywords":"Colorado, Colordao wildfires, New Year, Devner, ","originalPublishedOn":"2022-01-01T16:46:50+05:30"}},{"node":{"id":"RW2NyHusJNXB","slug":"colorado-wildfires-burn-hundreds-of-homes-force-evacuations","slugV2":"health/colorado-wildfires-burn-hundreds-of-homes-force-evacuations-527845/","title":"Colorado wildfires burn hundreds of homes, force evacuations","postType":1,"coverMedia":"/opoyi_-g44Jkki1.jpg","coverCaption":"Smoke from wildfires rises into the air north of Denver on Thursday.

Fires in Sequoia National Park and surrounding Sequoia National Forest tore through more than a third of groves in California and torched an estimated 2,261 to 3,637 sequoias, which are the largest trees by volume. ,Nearby wildfires last year killed an unprecedented 7,500 to 10,400 giant sequoias that are only native in about 70 groves scattered along the western side of the Sierra Nevada range. Losses now account for 13% to 19% of the 75,000 sequoias greater than 4 feet (1.2 meters) in diameter. ,Also Read | Deforestation in Brazil’s Amazon surges 22% to reach 15-year high,Blazes so intense to burn hot enough and high enough to kill so many giant sequoias — trees once considered nearly fire-proof — puts an exclamation point on climate change's impact. A warming planet that has created hotter droughts combined with a century of fire suppression that choked forests with thick undergrowth have fueled flames that have sounded the death knell for trees dating to ancient civilizations. ,“The sobering reality is that we have seen another huge loss within a finite population of these iconic trees that are irreplaceable in many lifetimes,” said Clay Jordan, superintendent of Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks. “As spectacular as these trees are we really can't take them for granted. To ensure that they're around for our kids and grandkids and great grandkids, some action is necessary.”,California has seen its largest fires in the past five years. Last year set a record for most acreage burned and this year, so far, is running second. Also Read | UN chief says global warming goal on 'life support',Tree deaths this year might have been worse if heavy rain and snow Oct. 25 hadn't dampened the fire. Fires burned from August last year into January. After last year's Castle and SQF Complex fires took officials by surprise — and drove some tree lovers to tears — extraordinary measures were taken to save the largest and oldest trees this year. ,The General Sherman tree — the largest living thing on earth — and other ancients that are the backdrop for photos that rarely capture the grandeur and scale of the giant sequoias were wrapped in foil blankets. ,A fire-retardant gel, similar to absorbent used in baby's diapers, was dropped on canopies that can sit above 200 feet (60 meters) tall. Sprinklers watered trunks and flammable matter was raked away from trees. ,The measures helped spare the Giant Forest, the premiere grove of massive trees in the park, but the measures couldn't be deployed everywhere. ,The bulk of the Suwanee grove in the park burned in extreme fire in the Marble Fork of the Kaweah River drainage.

Groves with the worst damage stand like timber graveyards with blackened trunks soaring high in the sky. Canopies have faded from vibrant green to a rusty shade. Many damaged trees are expected to perish in three to five years. ,Save the Redwoods League, which lost the Waterfall tree — one of the world's largest — in 2020, suffered losses this year in its Red Hill Grove. ,“We need to call this situation in the giant sequoia what it is: an emergency, said league President Sam Hodder. “Just a few years ago, it was considered unprecedented to lose a handful of giant sequoia to wildfire in a season, but now we’re losing thousands. ,In 2013, the park had done climate modeling that predicted extreme fires wouldn't jeopardize sequoias for another 50 years, Brigham said. But that was at the start of what became a punishing five-year drought that essentially broke the model. Amid the drought in 2015, the park saw giant sequoias torched for the first time.

Not all the news in the park's report on the fires was bleak. ,While flames burned into 27 groves and large numbers of trees were incinerated, a lot of low-intensity fire that sequoias need to thrive will clear out vegetation and the heat from flames will open cones so they can spread their seeds. ,There was also less damage in many of the groves where the park has routinely used prescribed fire to clear out accumulated vegetation under cooler and more humid conditions.

Also Read | California wildfire simmers following overnight firefighting efforts,Wildlife centers in the U.S. West are caring for animals that weren't able to flee the flames or are looking for food in burned-over places. ,An emaciated turkey vulture recently found on the Lake Tahoe shore couldn't fly, likely because food isn't as plentiful in burned areas, said Denise Upton, the animal care director at Lake Tahoe Wildlife Care. “That's what we're seeing in the aftermath of the fires — just animals that are having a hard time and being pushed into areas they are not traditionally in, she said. ___,IS FIRE GOOD OR BAD FOR WILDLIFE?,Not necessarily either, says Brian Wolfer, the game program manager for the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife. ,“It's a disturbance on the landscape that changes habitat, he said. Some species benefit from wildfire, such as raptors that hunt rodents running from the flames, beetles that move into dead wood and lay eggs, and woodpeckers that feed on them and nest in hollow trees. Fire exposes new grass, shrubs and vegetation in the flowering stage that feed elk and deer. When food sources are plentiful, female deer produce more milk and fawns grow faster, Wolfer said.

Some wildfires burn in a mosaic, preserving some habitat. But the hotter and faster they burn, the harder it is for less mobile animals to find suitable habitat, he said. ___,HOW ANIMALS RESPOND TO WILDFIRE,Mice, squirrels and other burrowing animals dig into cooler ground, bears climb trees, deer and bobcats run, small animals take cover in logs and birds fly to escape the flames, heat and smoke. “They almost seem to have a sixth sense to it,” said Julia Camp, a resources manager for the Coconino National Forest in northern Arizona. “A lot of times their response is quicker than ours.”,Firefighters have spotted tortoises with singed feet at the edge of wildfires, snakes slithering out from the woods and frail red-tailed hawks on the ground. Biologists can take precautionary measures, like moving introductory pens for Mexican gray wolves or scooping up threatened or endangered fish if they know a fire is approaching, Camp said.

The fish were sent to hatcheries that replicated their habitat until they could be returned. Some animals don't survive wildfires, but their deaths don't greatly affect the overall population, wildlife officials say. ___,HOW WILDLIFE FACTORS INTO FIRE MANAGEMENT,When wildfires break out in northern Arizona, Camp pulls out her maps. She can see where Mexican spotted owls live, which fish live in which waterways, and where bald and golden eagles nest. ,“If we're going to put a dozer line in, it won't be in the middle of their nesting area,” she said. “But if something is barreling toward Flagstaff, we're going to have to put out the fire regardless.”,Some of those decisions are driven by the federal Endangered Species Act. In 2015, a wildfire was threatening the Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge on the North Carolina coast. Firefighters cut low-lying branches from old pine trees where the red-cockaded woodpecker nests and burned other potential fuel. “What ended up happening is the fire did approach that area, but because of these measures, it did not affect the nesting areas of the woodpecker,” said U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service spokeswoman Kari Cobb. Firefighters also can starve wildfires of fuel using backburns so flames burn at the base of trees rather than more intensely in the crowns and threatening wildlife habitat. Also Read | Health issues caused by global warming are increasing: Reports,Other considerations are in play when dropping fire retardant so chemicals don't affect water sources or suffocate sensitive plants. ,Wildfire managers also try to avoid transferring mussels, fungi or non-native plants that might hitchhike in helicopter buckets by carefully choosing water sources or disinfecting buckets, Camp said. ___ ,HOW TO SPOT AN INJURED ANIMAL,Injured animals will move slowly or not at all. Experts say the best action for humans is to keep their distance, don't feed the animals and call wildlife officials or a rescue group. ,“Sometimes you’re not necessarily doing them the favor you think they are if that care is going to result in them becoming habituated, losing their fear for people,” Wolfer said. “We have to think by helping it, ‘Am I going to reduce its long-term survival potential?’ Animals are tough, much tougher than we give them credit for.”,The Wildlife Disaster Network based at the University of California, Davis, took in animals from several fires in California last year and from others that burned this year in the Sierra Nevada. Those include a baby flying squirrel, a baby fox and bear cubs. The staff scans animals for visible wounds and does blood work, X-rays and ultrasounds to develop a rehabilitation plan, said veterinarian Jamie Peyton, who helps lead the network. I really think you can’t just look at a single being and think ‘It’s not worth it, it’s not worth trying,' Peyton said. ___,ARE ALL ANIMALS RETURNED TO THE WILD?,Whether an animal can survive in the wild depends on the severity of the burns and the animal’s age. ,Treating burned adult bears is difficult because they tear off traditional bandages, and if they eat them, it can plug their intestines forcing euthanasia, Peyton said. A bear she treated in 2017 named Lucy forced her to think differently. ,“I really was stuck trying to control the pain, and she wouldn't take the medication, despite my pleas and some doughnuts,” Peyton said. ,Peyton developed a tilapia skin bandage that's now used on 15 different species, including a porcupine at the Lake Tahoe Wildlife Care whose paws were burned. Another porcupines at the center won't be released until its quills grow back so it can defend itself, Upton said. ,Adult bears and mountain lions typically are released within eight weeks so they don't get used to humans as caretakers, Peyton said.

More than 1,600 firefighters were battling the blaze in the Santa Ynez Mountains west of Santa Barbara on land and by air. They were able to stop its forward growth, and the blaze was 78% contained, federal officials said. The Alisal Fire started last Monday and has scorched nearly 27 square miles (69 square kilometers). It is threatening about 400 structures. Also Read: US approved Fire Retardant potential 'game changer' in fighting wildfires,A 1 1/2-acre (0.6 hectare) spot fire that ignited outside a retardant line on the blaze's northwestern corner was quickly contained by firefighters who used bulldozer and hand lines on the ground and doused the flames with water from the air. On Sunday, few hot spots remained, and fire crews were focused on increasing containment. Cooler temperatures were forecast for Sunday, but winds with gusts around 20 mph (32 kph) were still expected in the area, officials said. The fire erupted during fierce winds last week and spread rapidly down the face of the mountain range, leaping a highway and railroad to the beach below. Firefighting weather greatly improved since then, allowing airplanes and helicopters to bombard the fire with retardant and water.

He was speaking at Boise, Idaho, while visiting the National Interagency Fire Center. Biden called the year-round fires and other extreme weather a climate change reality the nation can no longer ignore. “The reality is we have a global warming problem, a serious global warming problem, and it's consequential and what's going to happen is, things are not going to go back, Biden was quoted as saying by the Associated Press. Biden is on a two-day trip, which includes a stop in Colorado on Tuesday. Through this trip, the President is looking to justify a need to invest billions in combating climate change by connecting the dots for Americans between the increasing frequency of wildfires in the West and other extreme weather events around the country and his plans. The President argued for spending today to lessen the future effects of climate change, as he did during recent stops in Louisiana, New York, and New Jersey. All these states had suffered millions of dollars in flood damage and scores of deaths following Hurricane Ida. In Idaho, Biden claimed that every dollar invested in “resilience” will save $6 down the road. He also spoke about the administration's use in early August of a wartime law to boost supplies of firehoses from the US Forest Service's primary supplier. “My message to you is, when we build back, we have to build back better. It is not a Democrat thing. It is not a Republican thing. It is a weather thing. It is a reality. It is serious and we can do this,” the US President said. The administration's use of the Defense Production Act helped an Oklahoma City nonprofit called NewView Oklahoma, which provides the bulk of the US Forest Service’s hoses, obtain needed supplies to produce and ship 415 miles of firehoses.

This was the second time this law was used, the first time being to boost COVID vaccine supplies.

Biden has reportedly planned to showcase the move as part of his administration's efforts to address yet another devastating wildfire season across the Western US,The president flew first to Boise, where he was to meet with federal and state fire officials at the National Interagency Fire Center. Later he was to travel to Sacramento, California, to survey wildfire damage and deliver remarks about the federal response. He will end his day in Long Beach for an election-eve event with California Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom, who faces a recall vote on Tuesday. Biden's Western visit is aimed primarily at drumming up support for his massive $3.5 trillion spending plan by linking it to beating back wildfires and upgrading social programs. In the two-day trip, which includes a stop in Colorado on Tuesday, Biden is looking to connect the dots for Americans between the increasing frequency of wildfires in the West — as well other extreme weather events around the country — and a need to invest billions in combating climate change as well as in a vast expansion of the social safety net. In deep-red Idaho, several opposing groups were leveraging Biden's trip as a way to show resistance to his administration. GOP gubernatorial candidates, an anti-vaccine organization, and a far-right group were among those urging people to turn out against the president. Biden's eleventh-hour election pitch in California comes the day before voters head to the polls to decide whether to recall Newsom and then replace him with Republican talk-show host Larry Elder, who's seen as the leading GOP alternative, or with any of the dozens of other candidates on the ballot. The White House is trying to turn the corner after a difficult month consumed by a chaotic and violent withdrawal from Afghanistan and the surging delta COVID-19 variant that have upended what the president had hoped would mark a summer in which the nation was finally freed from the coronavirus. The Biden administration in June laid out a strategy to deal with the growing wildfire threat, which included hiring more federal firefighters and implementing new technologies to detect and address fires quickly. Last month, the president approved a disaster declaration for California, providing federal aid for the counties affected by the Dixie and River fires. Just ahead of Monday's visit he issued another disaster declaration for the state, this time aimed at areas affected by the Caldor Fire.
