In an effort to address increasingly extreme wildfire activity, Republican Sen. Pete Goicoechea and Democratic Assemblywoman Heidi Swank plan to empanel a working group to study the issue and recommend ways to fight runaway blazes. The idea for the working group came out of the interim Public Lands Committee, which Swank chaired. Swank said she and Goicoechea came up with the idea at “the many diners in rural Nevada that we had breakfast at” during the committee’s sessions last year. Swank said the focus of the working group will be finding ways to reduce fuel for wildfire and improve initial attacks on blazes. Separately, the committee also recommended a bill for an interim study after the Legislature meets this session. But the panel, which could include federal partners, will start the conversation now.
