Use the full power of the office to support wildland firefighters and first responders fighting wildfires across the country.

I will continue to use the full power of my office to support the brave first responders on the front lines fighting wildfires across the country.

Sheehy commits to continuing to use his office to support wildfire responders.

Public Law 119-18 says the Act is for wildfire suppression purposes and cites S. 160.

Congress enacted the Aerial Firefighting Enhancement Act of 2025 on June 12, 2025. It reauthorizes federal aircraft-and-parts sales for wildfire suppression, which is a direct wildfire-response action aligned with supporting firefighters.

Axios reported that a bipartisan group of Western senators, including Tim Sheehy, introduced the Fix Our Forests Act to overhaul forest management and mitigate wildfire risk.

Sheehy joined the Senate introduction of a bipartisan wildfire mitigation bill that sought broader forest management and wildfire-response reforms. This is concrete legislative effort, though the bill itself was still pending as of the article date.

The official press-release index lists a June 22, 2026 item titled “Sheehy, Padilla Introduce Bipartisan Legislation to Secure Hazard Pay for Wildland Firefighters.”

Within the 30-day lookback window, Sheehy’s Senate office reported a bipartisan bill with Sen. Padilla to secure hazard pay for wildland firefighters. This is direct support for wildland firefighters, but the available official index shows introduction rather than enactment.

AP reported that the U.S. Wildland Fire Service was established in 2026, that Congress blocked including Forest Service firefighters in the plan, and that Sheehy had sponsored a bill to codify consolidation of federal firefighters into one agency and supports the new fire agency.

Recent reporting shows Sheehy continued pushing wildfire-response restructuring and supports a new federal fire agency, but the same report describes congressional limits, implementation confusion, firefighter deaths, and serious safety-policy criticism. This supports continued effort, not full delivery.

GovInfo lists S. 160 as introduced by Mr. Sheehy, with Sen. Heinrich, and titled the Aerial Firefighting Enhancement Act of 2025, to reauthorize Defense Department aircraft and parts sales for wildfire suppression purposes.

Sheehy personally sponsored a bipartisan wildfire-suppression aircraft bill early in his Senate term. This is concrete legislative use of office for wildfire response capacity.

Public Law 119-18 enacted the Aerial Firefighting Enhancement Act of 2025 and reauthorized the sale of Department of Defense aircraft and parts for provision of aircraft services for wildfire suppression purposes through October 1, 2035.

Sheehy’s wildfire-suppression aircraft bill became law, delivering one concrete piece of support for wildfire response. The broader campaign promise remains larger than this single enacted measure.

GovInfo’s reported Senate version of S. 1462 shows Curtis, Hickenlooper, Sheehy, and Padilla introduced the Fix Our Forests Act; it was reported by Sen. Boozman with an amendment on October 27, 2025. The bill includes wildfire risk reduction, prescribed fire, local fire suppression, and a Wildland Fire Management Casualty Assistance Program.

The Fix Our Forests Act advanced beyond introduction to reported status in the Senate and included firefighter and wildfire-response provisions. It remains legislative progress rather than full enactment shown here.

Executive Order 14308 directed the Interior and Agriculture secretaries to consolidate wildland fire programs where practicable, expand partnerships and mutual aid, improve wildfire technology, review barriers to prescribed fire and retardant use, develop response metrics, and prioritize excess aircraft and parts for wildfire mitigation and response.

This official federal action aligns with wildfire-response priorities Sheehy has supported, but it is an executive action, not proof that Sheehy alone delivered the campaign commitment. It provides context for partial progress and ongoing unresolved implementation.
