Forest Service fire costs are exploding out of control, having quintupled since the early 1990s to $2 billion a year today. There is no sign that all of this spending is significantly improving forest health or protecting homes on adjacent private lands, and an increasing amount of research indicates that much of it is not even necessary. This Policy Forum will consider a range of alternative proposals for reducing fire costs and improving forest management.
