There are wildfires that happen in Oregon as well, why shouldn't there be a special cooperation between the western states to divvy up burden? But that should be a cooperation between just those states and not a federal matter. Also, federal assistance programs largely transfers wealth from "blue" states to "red" states. Proposing less federal assistance or some kind of "fairer" tax program isn't going to persuade in the direction you think. It's just going to mean more money for blue states to handle their own internal matters.
