RENO, NV - This weekend, U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV) visited Reno and Truckee Meadows firefighters to personally thank them for their efforts to fight the Davis Fire. Earlier this month, she called on the Biden Administration to stand ready to approve requests for any federal resources 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 with firefighters from Truckee Meadows Fire Protection District and Reno Fire Department to personally thank them for their work, and show my immense gratitude for their bravery and dedication. I'll keep working 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 working to ensure Nevadans have access to the federal resources needed to stay safe from the threats of wildfires. Legislation Senator Rosen helped introduce to improve wildfire readiness and response passed committee earlier this year. She has also visited the National Weather Station in Reno to meet with National Weather Service personnel, scientific experts, and local and state emergency response staff 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 funds to help Nevada fight wildfires and extreme drought.
