Community involvement The new station will provide Fire and Safety with an overall stronger presence in the Seekseequa area. With the stronger presence will come more community in volvement in fire and safety matters at Seekseequa, said fire chief Martinez. There are plans, for instance, to teach hazard reductions to local residents. Hazard reduction includes the proper way to trim trees so as to reduce fire risk. Upon request Fire and Safety personnel will visit and inspect residences, and advise on how to improve the safety condi tions. "We'll be able to pay more attention to Seekseequa," said Martinez. "And we want to emphasize that this is a community fire department. We have big plans for that area." Along with advising the com munity members on hazard re duction, Fire and Safety is also to offer CPR and First-Aid classes to the Seekseequa residents. Please order early so the lenses can be here on time for Halloween.

Some delay Plans for development of the Seekseequa Fire Hall began a few years ago. Tribal Council initially appropriated funds for construction of the station in 2001. There was some delay, and then Council in 2002 again appropriated funding for the project. The 2002 Tribal Council ac tion, in regard to the present year budget, included a provi sion that the Seekseequa Fire Hall was to be a priority. Con struction then began earlier this year, and is very quickly near ing completion. The Seekseequa Fire Hall is a part of the long range expansion of fire and ambulance protection on the reservation. The development of the Simnasho hall was an ini tial phase of the expansion plan.
