E. Rt.F.P. Lease - The Indian River County Fire District returned the 5,000 <br />gallon tanker to the Division of Forestry. This unit was stationed at Station 8 <br />in Sebastian. <br />F. Division of Forestry Staffing - The Division of Forestry has one Forest Area <br />Supervisor, one Senior Forest Ranger, and three Forest Rangers assignedto <br />the county. The Division lost the Fire Tower Lookout position assigned to <br />the Yeehaw Tower due to budget cuts state wide. <br />H. Goals for F.Y. 96/97 - Our main goal is to continue to reduce our human <br />caused fires. Fire Prevention programs aimed at reducing these fires will <br />help bring us closer to our target of "Zero Human Caused Fires." <br />The use of the Incident Command System by the Division of Forestry and the <br />Fire Department will help prepare us for an emergency or disaster if it should <br />strike. <br />The continuing cooperation between the Division of Forestry and The Indian <br />River Co. Fire District will help reduce the potential for the loss of life or property. <br />In closing I would like to invite the county staff to call upon the Division if <br />thev need assistance with any forestry related subject. The Division of Forestry is <br />committed to serve the citizens of Indian River County. <br />INDIAN RIVER COUNTY <br />NUMBER OF FIRES FOR THE PAST 5 YEARS <br />60 <br />50 <br />40 <br />30 <br />20 <br />10 <br />FY91-92 FY92-93 FY93-94 FY94-95 FY95-96 <br />NUMBER OF ACRES BURNED FOR THE PAST 5 YEARS <br />6K <br />5E <br />4K <br />3K <br />2K <br />IK <br />FY91-92 FY92-93 FY93-94 FY94-95 FY95 96 <br />AUGUST 13, 1996 31 Bao `8 v"''�T 77 <br />
