Senators introduce bill to mandate respiratory protection for wildland firefighters during hazardous smoke exposure.
A bipartisan group of U.S. senators has introduced the Healthy Lungs for Heroes Act, requiring federal agencies to create a plan within one year to provide respiratory protective equipment for wildland firefighters and support staff when smoke exposure exceeds safe levels.
The bill aims to reduce long-term health risks from toxic smoke, as current protection is limited to voluntary N95 masks.
Advocates stress that effective implementation depends on dedicated funding, and the legislation is backed by the Mountain West News Bureau, a public media collaboration.
