Requires the U.S. Fire Administrator to develop and deliver a detailed strategy within one year to improve equipment, training, and staffing standards for firefighter Rapid Intervention Teams (RITs) and to brief Congress within 18 months. The plan must identify current standards and barriers, review recent Line of Duty Death reports, and include recommendations for Congressional action, including issues specific to maritime and port operations.
This law directs a federal agency to study RIT needs and report back; it does not itself fund new programs or mandate local changes, but it can shape future policy, guidance, and potential grant or legislative actions.
Referred to the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology.
