Healthy Lungs for Heroes Act of 2025
This bill establishes new safety standards to protect wildland firefighters from harmful smoke exposure. It requires the Secretary of Agriculture (and the Secretary of the Interior for their firefighters) to develop and provide appropriate respiratory protective equipment when smoke levels exceed current safety limits, within one year of the bill's enactment. Firefighters and supporting staff must use this equipment in high-exposure situations, with standards periodically reviewed and updated based on the latest guidelines. The bill also authorizes funding to cover the costs of implementing these safety measures for wildland firefighting personnel.
