"Nevada Senators and Tester Push for Fair Pay Protection for Wildland Firefighters"

Nevada Senators Catherine Cortez Masto and Jacky Rosen are urging senate leadership to include a permanent salary increase for wildland firefighters in any government-funded package, as the funding that previously increased their pay is set to expire on September 30. The senators emphasized the vulnerability of Nevada to wildfires and the importance of maintaining sustainable and acceptable pay rates for these firefighters.
