Plain-English Summary

Federal employees who conduct prescribed burns—controlled fires used to reduce wildfire risk and manage forests—would receive extra hazard pay for this dangerous work. The bill recognizes that these workers face significant risks from smoke, flames, and unpredictable fire behavior, similar to other hazardous duties that already qualify for additional compensation. This would apply to employees across federal agencies involved in land management and fire prevention.
