Fit for Purpose Wildfire Readiness Act of 2025

This bill directs the Secretary of Agriculture and the Secretary of the Interior to jointly develop a comprehensive plan for reorganizing federal wildland fire response. The core purpose is to consolidate existing authorities related to wildland fire preparedness, suppression, and recovery under a new, unified agency. This proposed entity, to be named the National Wildland Firefighting Service , would be established within the Department of the Interior. The required plan must include a detailed budget for the new service and specify the qualifications for its Director, an individual to be appointed by the President with Senate confirmation. Furthermore, the plan needs to describe all resources and authorities necessary to effectively consolidate federal wildland fire response efforts, with a report on this plan due to relevant Congressional committees within 180 days of the Act's enactment.
