Summary

Emergency Wildfire Fighting Technology Act of 2023 This bill requires the Forest Service and the Department of the Interior to jointly evaluate the container aerial firefighting system to assess its use to mitigate and suppress wildfires. Based on the evaluation, the Forest Service, Interior, the National Interagency Aviation Committee, and the Interagency Airtanker Board must each update their deployment protocols. The system allows for the use of airdrop-capable disposable containers of water or fire retardant, which increases the number of airlift assets available for wildfire emergencies.
