Idaho Governor Brad Little has unveiled a new report detailing ten priorities aimed at mitigating the impacts of wildfires in the state for the upcoming 2024 and 2025 seasons. The report emphasizes a coordinated approach to wildfire prevention and response, highlighting the need for better fuel management, improved emergency communication, and legislative reforms regarding wildfire liability for utilities and insurers.

Governor Little's initiative reflects a proactive strategy to safeguard lives and property against the increasing wildfire risks in Idaho.
