December 14, 2007, 4:19pm (report abuse)This is a wonderful bill, making aerial firefighters eligible for PSOB benefits. They risk their lives just the same as ground firefighters and should never have been excluded in the first place.

They are honored on Fallen Firefighter memorials all over this country and at the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial. It's time they were treated the same.

September 25, 2008, 11:10am (report abuse)This is such a well-deserved bill. Aerial firefighters have a hard time buying life insurance for their families. Please help this bill along by contacting your state representatives. Encourage them to read about the Sept. 1 2008 Neptune Aviation Crash.
