Rosen visits firefighters in Reno and Truckee Meadows to thank them for battling the Davis fire

RENO, NV – This weekend, U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV) visited Reno and Truckee Meadows firefighters to personally thank them for their efforts battling the Davis Fire. Earlier this month, she called on the Biden administration to be ready to approve requests for federal funding that Northern Nevada may need to fight the Davis Fire.

“Our firefighters and first responders in Northern Nevada have been working around the clock to contain the Davis Fire and keep communities across Northern Nevada safe,” said Senator Rosen. “I visited firefighters from the Truckee Meadows Fire Protection District and the Reno Fire Department to personally thank them for their work and express my deep gratitude for their courage and dedication. I will continue to work in the Senate to support our first responders and ensure they have the resources they need to do their jobs and keep Nevadans safe.”

Senator Rosen is committed to ensuring Nevadans have access to the federal resources they need to protect themselves from the dangers of wildfires. A bill Senator Rosen introduced to improve wildfire preparedness and response passed out of committee earlier this year. She has also visited the National Weather Station in Reno to meet with National Weather Service staff, scientific experts, and local and state emergency response personnel to discuss how to best support local communities during wildfire season. In addition, Senator Rosen has previously joined her colleagues in asking the White House for federal resources to help Nevada combat wildfires and extreme drought.
