We are working to make the FireGuard Program an official part of the National Guard to improve wildfire detection and response. This will ensure regular updates on fire alert times, technology integration, and support to local and tribal governments to better protect our communities.

Great, another mandate that “shall” means we’re locked in—hope they’ve done their homework on this one before micromanaging local fire departments.

You can’t pussyfoot around wildfires anymore—FireGuard means real accountability and resources for frontline communities, not just empty promises.

Finally, a program that actually shields communities instead of polluters. FireGuard isn’t just smart policy—it’s climate justice in action.

National Guard fighting fires? Fine. But let’s keep private sector innovation in the loop, not past the finish line with federal red tape.

FireGuard sounds like a solid step—let’s see if it actually delivers data when it counts. Transparency is key, but so is follow-through.

Turning fire detection into a national security priority seems wise, but will the program avoid becoming just another bureaucratic black hole?

More government programs? FireGuard better be about efficiency, not just expanding the National Guard’s budget forever.

National Guard meets wildfire defense? About time we put public safety over private profits. This is how you build climate resilience from the ground up.

I support early warnings, but the sunset clause tells me this is a pilot, not a forever fix. Let’s watch this closely before declaring victory.
