    This Act may be cited as the ``United States Fire Administration 
Reauthorization Act of 2008''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) The loss of life due to fire has dropped significantly 
        over the last 25 years in the United States. However, the 
        United States still has one of the highest fire death rates in 
        the industrialized world. For 2006, the National Fire 
        Protection Association reported 3,245 civilian fire deaths, 
        17,925 civilian fire injuries, and $11,307,000,000 in direct 
        losses due to fire.
            (2) Every year, over 100 firefighters die in the line of 
        duty. The United States Fire Administration should continue its 
        leadership to help local fire agencies dramatically reduce 
        these fatalities.
            (3) Members of the fire service community should continue 
        to work together to further the promotion of national voluntary 
        consensus standards that increase firefighter safety.
            (4) The United States Fire Administration provides crucial 
        support to the Nation's 30,300 fire departments through 
        training, data collection, fire awareness and education, and 
        other activities for improving fire prevention, control, and 
        suppression technologies.
            (5) The collection of data on fire and other emergency 
        incidents is a vital tool both for policy makers and emergency 
        responders to identify and develop responses to emerging 
        hazards. Improving the United States Fire Administration's data 
        collection capabilities is essential for accurately tracking 
        and responding to the magnitude and nature of the Nation's fire 
        problem.
            (6) The research and development performed by the Federal 
        Government and non-government organizations on fire 
        technologies, techniques, and tools advance the capabilities of 
        the Nation's fire service to prevent and suppress fires.
            (7) The United States Fire Administration is one of the 
        strongest voices representing the Nation's fire service within 
        the Federal Government, and, as such, it should have a 
        prominent place within the Federal Government.

(Sec. 4) Authorizes the Superintendent of the National Academy for Fire Prevention and Control to include within fire service personnel training: (1) response, tactics, and strategies for dealing with non-terrorist-caused national catastrophes and incidents that involve weapons of mass destruction; (2) applying new technology and developing strategies and tactics for fighting wildfires; (3) response, tactics, and strategies for fighting large-scale or multiple fires in a general area that cross jurisdictional boundaries, fires occurring at the wildland-urban interface, and fires involving hazardous materials; and (4) advanced emergency medical services (EMS) training.

Example Input: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Homemaker Employment Assistance and 
Lifeskills Act.''

SEC. 2. PURPOSE AND FINDINGS.

    (a) Purpose.--The purpose of this Act is to provide assistance to 
States for preparatory services, education and training programs, 
support service assistance, and referral services to displaced 
homemakers, single parents, and individuals pursuing nontraditional 
occupations. Such assistance will create workforce pathways for 
individuals in transition and help meet the employment needs of a high 
skilled, information technology economy.
    (b) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) A high quality, productive, and diverse workforce is 
        necessary to compete in the global economy.
            (2) There are approximately 15,000,000 displaced homemakers 
        and single parents in the United States for whom the pathway to 
        employment and economic independence requires education and 
        training services.
            (3) The education and training needs of displaced 
        homemakers, single parents, and individuals pursuing 
        nontraditional occupations are not sufficiently met through 
        existing systems.
            (4) Displaced homemakers and single parents represent an 
        untapped resource to enter unfilled positions in the 
        information technology sector.
            (5) Employment in information technology and nontraditional 
        careers offers wages and advancement opportunities to help 
        families achieve economic independence.
