Yet as the fire rages out of control, more dire news is on the horizon: The Forest Service’s budget and firefighting resources are expected to be tapped out even before the peak of fire season.The Bootleg Fire began in early July, right after the record heat wave cooked the Northwest to a well-done crisp. “You make more money at McDonald’s.”Firefighters are currently paid just $13 per hour, which President Joe Biden called “ridiculously low.” He wants to raise it to $15 per hour, which is good, but also have you seen the fires out West lately? At the same time that the government is gearing up to fight fires, though, it also needs to be gearing up to reduce emissions and prepare forests for the future so the blazes don’t get as bad in the first place.Firefighters are currently paid just $13 per hour, which President Joe Biden called “ridiculously low.” He wants to raise it to $15 per hour, $13 = ridiculously low.
