H.R. 6387 FIRE Act Modifies Clean Air Act
14 July 2026 | ZEROGeoengineering.com | “Congress began “fixing” wildfire in 2013. Since then, the incidence of wildfire has dramatically increased. What if our new approach to wildfire is causing the crisis?” -2023 Georgetown Environmental Law Review article, “Cloud Seeding, Wildfire Smoke Emissions, and Solar Geoengineering: Why is Climate Modification Unregulated?”
Passed in the U.S. House of Representatives, H.R. 6387 — the “Fire Improvement and Reforming Exceptional Events Act” or the FIRE Act, further weakens the Clean Air Act by redefining “exceptional events” and authorizing wildfire mitigation.
The FIRE Act modifies the definition of “exceptional events” under the Clean Air Act: “The bill provides that events caused by human activity that are intended to mirror the occurrence or reoccurrence of a natural event are exceptional events.”

H.R. 6387 Fire Improvement and Reforming Exceptional Events Act or the FIRE Act 
Summary: “This bill modifies the definition of exceptional events under the Clean Air Act and requires the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to revise its regulations regarding exceptional events or actions to mitigate wildfire risk.
Generally, the EPA must exclude data from use in determinations of exceedances and violations of national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) if a state demonstrates that an exceptional event caused a specific air pollution concentration.
The bill provides that events caused by human activity that are intended to mirror the occurrence or reoccurrence of a natural event are exceptional events. Additionally, the bill no longer excludes from consideration as an exceptional event (1) meteorological events involving high temperatures or a lack of precipitation, or (2) stagnation of air masses that does not ordinarily occur.
The bill requires the EPA to revise regulations regarding the reviewing and handling of air quality monitoring data influenced by actions to mitigate wildfire risk.
The bill also requires the EPA to conduct regional modeling and analysis when multiple states submit petitions regarding the same exceptional event or action to mitigate wildfire risk.”
‘‘DEFINITION OF EXCEPTIONAL EVENT’’
‘‘(III) is an event that is—
‘‘(aa) a natural event;
‘‘(bb) caused by a human activity that is intended to mirror the occurrence or reoccurrence of a natural event; or
‘‘(cc) caused by a human activity that is unlikely to recur;
NOTE: Solar geoengineering activities are designed to mimic volcanic eruptions as documented in the 2026 GAO Solar Geoengineering report: : “… mimics the temporary cooling effect of some major volcanic eruptions.”
‘‘or action to mitigate wildfire risk’’ after ‘‘an exceptional event’’;
‘‘(C) REGIONAL ANALYSIS.—When more than one State notifies the Administrator of its intent to submit a petition pursuant to this section for an exceptional event or an action to mitigate wildfire risk for the same air quality event, or, if the Administrator determines such a multistate air quality event has occurred, the Administrator shall conduct regional modeling and analysis sufficient to satisfy the demonstration required for an exceptional event or an action to mitigate wildfire risk petition for such air quality event.”
NOTE excerpt below from the (2023) Georgetown Environmental Law Review article, “Cloud Seeding, Wildfire Smoke Emissions, and Solar Geoengineering: Why is Climate Modification Unregulated?”:
“Congress began “fixing” wildfire in 2013. Since then, the incidence of wildfire has dramatically increased. What if our new approach to wildfire is causing the crisis? Indeed, the sharp uptick in disastrous wildfires correlates with increasing federal control and an increased reliance on data-driven fire modeling. ”

H.R. 6387 provides for “actions to mitigate wildfire risk,” which could potentially include polluting atmospheric modifications such as discussed here:
Wildfire suppressants are extremely toxic!
