July is National Parks month. Growing up in Yellowstone’s backyard, I was afforded the opportunity to enjoy our nation’s first national park.

Thanks to the great efforts of INL and BLM firefighters, the Telegraph fire was quickly and safety contained. It's important to me that these organizations have the necessary resources to successfully fight these dangerous fires.
