House approves bill to help West fight wildfires, drought
Fox News
The U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill that will aid families with home and business damage and losses due to wildfires and drought caused by climate change.
"Across America, the impacts of climate change continue to worsen, and in this new normal, historic droughts and record-setting wildfires have become all too common," said Rep. Joe Neguse, D-Colo., the bill's chief co-sponsor.
Colorado has experienced increasingly devastating wildfires in recent years, including the Marshall fire last year that caused more than $513 million in damage and destroyed nearly 1,100 homes and buildings in Boulder County.
