President Trump signed an executive order Friday aimed at preventing catastrophic wildfires by directing the Interior and Agriculture departments to develop plans to remove brush and dead trees on millions of acres of federally owned land.
In the wake of California’s deadly Camp fire last month, the president also ordered the agencies to develop a wildfire strategy by the end of 2020 with state and local partners to minimize the risk of property loss and injuries.
