NASA budget cuts put wildfire fighting programs at risk

81% Informative
NASA scientists fly over hundreds of acres of burning brush at Fort Stewart Army base in Georgia .
The research will help firefighters battle real wildfires when they do ignite, and it could even help land managers prevent some blazes from starting.
Last year , wildfires scorched nearly 9 million acres in the United States .
Studies show climate change is making wildfires more frequent and intensifying the blazes that do ignite.
It's not clear how, if at all, the project may be affected by budget rollbacks.
Early reports have signaled deep cuts to NASA ’s Science Mission Directorate , which includes Earth science initiatives.
“No funding decisions have been finalized,” a spokesperson for the White House says.
