To require the Secretary of Agriculture to carry out activities to suppress wildfires, and for other purposes.

This bill tells the U.S. Forest Service to act fast and aggressively to stop wildfires on certain high‑risk national forest lands. It requires using all available resources to put out new wildfires within 24 hours of when they’re found. It also says the Forest Service must not get in the way of state or local firefighters who are authorized to help on these lands. Controlled burns (prescribed fires) can only be used if they follow all rules, and any prescribed fire that gets out of its planned limits must be put out right away. Backfires or burnouts during a wildfire are only allowed if ordered by the incident commander or needed to protect firefighter safety, and any such fires must be fully controlled until they’re out .

These rules apply to national forest areas that are in severe to exceptional drought, at the highest national wildfire preparedness level, or in the top 10% of places most exposed to wildfire risk, as identified by the Forest Service .

• Who is affected: U.S. Forest Service; state and local firefighters working on national forest lands.
• What changes: Faster wildfire response (within 24 hours); limits and safeguards on using fire as a tool; no blocking authorized state/local efforts.
• Where it applies: High‑risk national forest areas defined by drought level, national preparedness level, or top‑risk firesheds.
• When: Upon detection of a wildfire (24‑hour suppression goal) and whenever prescribed fires or backfires are used.
