New reports would show how federal fire training helps local departments.
Federal fire training programs would become more transparent under a new bill requiring the National Academy for Fire Prevention and Control to send Congress a yearly report. This report would detail the training courses offered, how many firefighters attend, and how federal funds are used for fire service training. This change would give Congress more information about how federal fire training programs are working, which could help support local fire departments.
Today, the law does not require the National Academy for Fire Prevention and Control to send Congress annual reports about its courses, programs, or funding. If this bill becomes law, the Academy would be required to submit a detailed report to Congress every year by November 30, covering the previous government budget year. This report would provide specific information on who attends training, what courses are offered, and how federal funds are distributed.
