Wildland Firefighters Congressional Gold Medal Act

This bill, S 4687, authorizes a single Congressional Gold Medal to be awarded collectively to wildland firefighters for their service in protecting U.S. forests, grasslands, and communities from wildfires. The medal, designed by the Secretary of the Treasury in consultation with the National Interagency Fire Center, will be presented by congressional leaders and displayed permanently at the National Interagency Fire Center for public access and research. The bill also permits the sale of bronze duplicates at cost to the public, with proceeds covering production expenses. This commemorative measure recognizes the collective sacrifice and dedication of wildland firefighters without altering their duties or benefits.
