Emergency Wildfire Fighting Technology Act of 2025

This bill tells the Forest Service and the Department of the Interior to quickly study a new wildfire tool called the container aerial firefighting system. They must evaluate how well it works to fight and slow wildfires and then send a report to Congress with what they find. The study must begin soon after the law takes effect, and the report is due within about four months. The goal is to see if this system can make air support for fires faster and more available by using disposable containers that can drop water or fire retardant from the air .

If the system works well, communities near wildfire zones could see quicker and more frequent air drops during fire season, which might help protect homes and forests. The bill itself does not promise new funding or immediate changes on the ground; it requires an evaluation and a report first .

• Who is affected: Federal wildfire agencies, firefighters, and communities at risk of wildfires.
• What changes: A required study of a system that uses airdrop-ready disposable containers to boost firefighting from the air; results reported to Congress.
• When: Evaluation starts within 90 days of the law taking effect; report due within 120 days.
