For the second year in a row, the Forest Service has exhausted its entire
budget for fighting fires, according to the Washington Post.

.

The news comes as wildfires rage across the West, including the Rim fire
in California near Yosemite National Park, which has so far burned 160,980
acres and is only 20 percent contained, according to the Forest Service's
Active Fire Map.

.

According to the Post, nearly 3 million acres have burned in the United
States so far this year.

The Post reports that prior to 2001, a season with more than 5 million
acres burned was a rarity, and wildfire season generally ran from June to
September. But since that time, changing climate conditions have brought
more dryness and drought, expanding the season from May to October.
Critics say given this reality, budgeting for fighting wildfires has been
shortsighted.

.

"When we have emergencies burning, the U.S. government will continue to
spend money on firefighting, even if they don't have the money," said
Christopher Topik, director of the Restoring America's Forests project for
The Nature Conservancy, an environmental group, in a July Associated Press
report. "So then they'll take it out of these other kinds of accounts,
which are the ones that actually reduce the risk. That's what will end up
happening, and that's not a good policy."

.

The federal spending cuts known as sequestration have also hurt the Forest
Service's budget.
