Continue to support wildfire prevention and response capabilities within the Lummi Natural Resources Department. The LNR Forestry Division is responsible for wildfire prevention (e.g., issues burn bans and burn permits) on the Reservation and shares the responsibility of wildland firefighting with the Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and local Whatcom County Fire Districts. It is important that the LNR maintain and improve fire response capabilities not only by continuing with firefighter training and equipment maintenance, but also by obtaining additional funding to address identified program needs. For instance, the MHMP (2010) suggested inventorying alternative firefighting water sources and encouraging the development of additional sources, such as water storage facilities with fire-resistant electrical pump systems in developments outside of fire protection districts that are not connected to community water or hydrant system.
