HR 9547 United States House · 118th Congress

Improving Military Firefighter Safety Act of 2024

This bill requires the Secretary of Defense to study firefighter rapid intervention teams at military facilities, focusing on their training standards and equipment. The study must identify current practices across all Department of Defense sites, assess whether equipment is sufficient for ship fires at naval ports, and review preventable firefighter injuries or deaths from the past decade. The Secretary must submit a report to Congress by September 30, 2025, detailing findings and recommendations. This bill directly affects military firefighters at DOD facilities by initiating a review of their safety protocols, without changing existing rules or funding.
