FIRE MANAGEMENT
Fire Management is a program to manage wildland fires, prescribed fires and fuels. Fire Management Plans must address a full range of fire management activities that support ecosystem sustainability, values to be protected, protection of firefighter and public safety, public health and environmental issues, and must be consistent with resource management objectives and activities identified by tribal landowners.

The Goals related to the Wildfire Prevention Program for the Spokane Tribe, is to ensure that firefighter and public safety is first priority in every fire management activity. To Educate communities about the unique challenges of wildfire in the wildland-urban interface (WUI). To Establish mitigation priorities and develop mitigation strategies in the WUI, reduce risk of catastrophic wildfire to communities identified as communities at risk through fuels treatments. To reduce the area of WUI land burned and losses experienced because of wildfires where these fires threaten communities in the wildland-urban interface. To reduce unwanted, human caused ignitions by ten percent (10%) within the boundaries of the Spokane Reservation over the next ten years to improve firefighter and public safety.
