Military Firefighter Safety: Study on Training and Equipment Standards

This law requires the Department of Defense (DoD) to conduct a detailed study of the training and equipment used by military firefighter rapid intervention teams (RITs) at all DoD facilities. The goal is to standardize safety procedures and ensure that current resources are adequate, particularly at naval ports, thereby improving the safety of federal emergency responders. The study must also review past incidents to see if better resources could have prevented injuries or deaths.
