Summary
The Support our Firefighters Act amends federal law to provide paid rest and recuperation leave for wildland firefighters employed by the Forest Service and Department of the Interior following deployment to major fire incidents. The bill authorizes the Secretaries of Agriculture and Interior to jointly establish policies governing the leave, including requirements for mandatory rest periods (such as 3 days off after 14 days of deployment or 4 days off after 21 days). The bill also transfers up to $5 million in unobligated wildland fire management funds and extends overtime pay waivers for federal wildland firefighters beyond 2024.
