Senator Cortez Masto expresses dismay at Forest Service having discontinued Women in Wildfire Boot Camps program at budget hearing

Nevada Senator Catherine Cortez Masto and US Forest Service Chief Tom Schultz discuss the Trump Administration's decision to scrap the Women in Wildfire Boot Camps program, with the senator questioning why they eliminated training programs for wildland firefighters when there's a recruitment struggle and longer fire seasons, while Schultz explained they looked at all contracts and focused on training opportunities for all firefighters rather than programs solely targeting women at a Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee hearing on the agency's fiscal year 2026 budget.
