HR 4671 United States House · 119th Congress

Ensuring Casualty Assistance for our Firefighters Act

HR 4671 establishes a Wildland Fire Management Casualty Assistance Program to support families of firefighters and wildland fire support personnel injured or killed in the line of duty. The program requires the Secretary of the Interior to develop procedures for notifying next-of-kin about critical injuries or deaths, reimbursing travel expenses for family visits, and providing centralized case management. It mandates a centralized website offering free, personalized information about federal benefits and complaint mechanisms for survivors. The bill also defines "next-of-kin" priority (spouse, children, parents, etc.) and requires data collection on casualty assistance quality, without affecting existing Line of Duty Death benefits.
