Establishes regional wildland fire research centers to coordinate research and improve understanding of wildland fires.
The Regional Leadership in Wildland Fire Research Act of 2025 mandates the Secretary of Commerce to establish regional wildland fire research centers. These centers will be located at institutions of higher education or land-grant colleges and universities, selected based on criteria such as existing wildland fire research programs, partnerships, and participation in the Joint Fire Science Program. Each center will coordinate research, improve understanding of wildland fires, develop technologies for monitoring and predicting fires, and support land treatments to reduce fire severity.
