Concerns safe operation of certain fire stations; establishes Fire Station Rehabilitation and Maintenance Code; establishes fire station, equipment, training, and maintenance fund; provides for replacement equipment for certain municipalities; and appropriates $140 million.

This bill establishes a Fire Station Rehabilitation and Maintenance Code requiring paid and part-paid fire departments serving municipalities with over 300,000 residents to implement specific safety measures. Key provisions include annual testing for hazardous substances (every six months for pre-1978 stations), remediation within six months, installation of HEPA-filtered HVAC systems, and inclusion of steam rooms for firefighter detoxification. It appropriates $140 million total - $110 million to a rehabilitation fund for grants/loans and $30 million to an equipment replacement fund - to cover fire station modifications, safety equipment maintenance, and replacing fire trucks every 10-15 years. The funding is allocated exclusively to qualifying large-municipality fire departments, with additional flexibility for municipalities to impose fire inspection fee surcharges to support compliance.
