Across the country, wildland firefighters are staring down what could be one of the most severe fire seasons in recent history.
Among those figuring out how to prepare is the U.S. Wildland Fire Service, a brand new agency created by the Trump administration.
"We're dry and we're expecting the pace to pick up significantly here any time," said the recently appointed head of that service, Brian Fennessy, in an interview with NPR's All Things Considered host Emily Feng.
The agency is a product of an ongoing White House effort to combine all the parts of the federal government that fight fires.
