Oregon Senator Ron Wyden pressed for passage of an emergency funding bill that would provide additional money to fight catastrophic wildfires in the West.  Wyden and Idaho Senator Mike Crapo have developed a bill to allow some fire suppression costs to be funded by a disaster account instead of borrowing from other areas like wildfire suppression.  Senate Appropriations Committee Chairwoman Barbara Mikulski announced that her emergency supplemental appropriations bill would include an additional $615 million dedicated to wildfire suppression costs.   The bill also includes language to allow some fire suppression funding to be funded out of a disaster account, based on the Wyden and Crapo bill.
