| Firefighting panel look at cutting costs |

"The Fire Suppression Interim Committee is looking at cost containment strategies and different concepts on how to fairly and equitably fund the fire program as well as suppress costs," said Bob Harrington, state forester.
The committee of of six state senators and six representatives was created during the 2007 Legislature's special session and was charged with studying wildland fires with an eye toward reducing suppression costs, funding firefighting and coordinating state and federal fire policies. The committee is required to have its study completed by Sept. 15 and report its recommendations and findings to the 2009 Legislature. Billings-area representatives on the committee are Sen.
