President Joe Biden will promote his administration's use of the Defence Production Act to aid in wildfire preparedness during a western swing in which he'll survey wildfire damage in Idaho and California.
The administration activated the wartime provision in early August to boost the supply of fire hoses for the U.S. Forest Service, by helping to ease supply chain issues affecting the agency's primary firehose supplier. It marks the second use of the wartime law, after the president used it to boost vaccine supplies, and the administration had not previously announced it publicly.
The California fires extends for years and now puting a bandaid on it.
Just a thought.
