Manchin, Bipartisan Colleagues Introduce Bill to Protect Pay for Wildland Firefighters

Press Release

"Wildland firefighters across the country deserve our full support as they heroically risk their lives on the frontlines to protect our communities. This legislation permanently preserves federal firefighter pay and acknowledges the extreme strain of the job by providing support for critical rest and recuperation time. While we owe it to them to swiftly pass this legislation, this is only a first step and I remain committed to continuing to better support our federal firefighters."
