Creates a program to help families of wildland firefighters and support staff injured or killed on duty.
This bill would create a new program to help families of wildland firefighters and support staff. It would assist those whose loved ones are seriously hurt, get sick, or die while on duty. The program would offer organized help, send important updates, and cover travel costs for families. This program would start within six months if it becomes law.
Today, there is no dedicated program to help families of wildland firefighters and support staff who are critically injured, become ill, or die on duty. Existing death benefits still apply. If this bill passes, the Department of the Interior would create a new program within six months to offer structured support, travel reimbursement, and clear information to these families.
