In its latest outlook report, the National Interagency Fire Center stated that risk of wildfires during June in almost all of the US has reduced and credit for the same goes to unexpected rainfall in May.

It shall however, be noted that the risk will be present from July to September. The report unveiled that the risk is below normal level in Central and Southern US in June. But the risk is above normal level in California, Hawaii and parts of Southwest and Alaska.

Experts affirmed that as summers will progress, fire danger across the nation will increase. The risk will especially be on rise in the Northwest, Georgia and the Carolinas. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack and Interior Secretary Sally Jewell will be present in Denver on Tuesday where they will discuss about wildfire threats and nationwide outlook for the wildfire season.

In the discussion, a proposal by Obama that talks about bringing changes in the way wildfire-fighting is funded, so that US Forest Service budget is not much stressed. Worst wildfires can destroy around 30% of the Forest Service's firefighting budget.

Obama wants to treat cost of wildfires like other natural disasters and for this they will take money from available federal disaster relief fund. This way, the Forest Service would not be required to use other funds.

Staff for fighting fires has doubled since 1998. But on the other hand, number of workers managing National Forest lands has declined by around a third.
