Senator Daines announces pay raises for wildland firefighters
BISMARCK, N.D. (KFYR) – Montana’s fire dashboard shows 76 fires are actively burning across the state.
Since January, 2,051 fires have scorched 793,776 acres.
Fire crews have put in hours upon hours for little pay – but that’s about to change.
Senators passed the Wildland Firefighter Fair Pay Act, guaranteeing a wage of at least $15 per hour.
