Good Fire 2 Report Officially Released
Good Fire II is an updated report from the Karuk Tribe that outlines solutions to expand cultural burning and prescribed fire across the U.S. It builds on the original Good Fire report and supports national policy reform while centering Tribal leadership in fire stewardship.
The Karuk Tribe’s Good Fire II Report addresses barriers to the expansion of cultural burning and prescribed fire in the United States and provides recommended solutions. Good Fire II builds on the original California-focused Good Fire report, published in 2021. Since its release, Good Fire has been widely cited by academics, lawmakers, and others as a key resource for advocating and creating the enabling conditions for increased use of good fire across California.
This updated version expands the scope of those recommendations, calling for transformational change at both the state and federal levels. It provides a roadmap to revitalizing the relationship between humans and fire—and the systems used to steward it.
Good Fire II was developed to complement the Biden-Harris Wildland Fire Mitigation and Management Commission Report. Bill Tripp, Director of Natural Resources and Environmental Policy for the Karuk Tribe and co-author of Good Fire II, also served as the designated Tribal Government representative on the Commission. Good Fire II offers additional detail to support policy reforms necessary to implement the Commission’s broader recommendations, while supporting Tribal sovereignty and prioritizing Tribal leadership in stewardship and fire management at all levels.
