Wildfire Intelligence Collaboration and Coordination Act of 2025

# Wildfire Intelligence Collaboration and Coordination Act of 2025 – Summary This bill would establish a coordinated system for sharing wildfire information and technology across federal agencies, state and local governments, and private organizations. The legislation aims to improve how wildfire data—including weather patterns, fire behavior predictions, and air quality impacts—is collected, analyzed, and distributed to emergency responders and the public. It would create advisory bodies to oversee collaboration efforts and likely require federal agencies to work together more efficiently rather than operating in separate silos. The bill affects firefighters and emergency personnel who respond to wildfires, state and local governments responsible for evacuation and disaster response, residents in fire-prone areas, and federal agencies like those managing forests and emergency management.

Key provisions likely include establishing data-sharing protocols, investing in advanced technology for fire prediction and monitoring, and creating oversight mechanisms to track progress. The bill also appears designed to strengthen public-private partnerships, meaning cooperation between government agencies and private companies that have relevant technology or expertise. **Current Status:** The bill is currently in committee and has not yet been voted on by the full Senate. As a newly introduced bill in the 119th Congress, it remains in the early stages of the legislative process.
