Establishes a coordinated program within NOAA to improve wildfire and fire weather forecasting.

The Fire Ready Nation Act of 2025 establishes a coordinated fire weather services program within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The program aims to enhance wildfire, fire weather, fire risk, and wildfire smoke forecasting, detection, modeling, observations, and service delivery. Key provisions include developing a fire weather testbed, conducting workforce needs assessments for incident meteorologists, and ensuring parity for remote, isolated, and rural communities. The act also mandates annual briefings to Congress on fire season outlooks and weather forecasts.
