Tule River
Strives to safe guard against all events that could possibly happen on
the reservation. The Tule River Reservation Fire Department was established to
assist with the growing wild fires that occur in the hills surrounding
the reservation.
The Tule River Reservation Fire Department currently
has one Type II engine,
1 Type III engine, 2 type IV patrols and 1 Ambulance. With the growing
need for additional members for the fire crew, the
Tribe has begun construction on a new Fire Station.
The Fire Department is currently working on
surrounding the Reservation with Fuel Breaks
to allow defendable, safe engagement of wild fires threatening
cooperators or the reservation. The Fuel Breaks and
pre-suppression plans will include, but not be limited to Safety Zones,
Escape Routes, Heliports/Med-Evac, Dip Sites, Snag Removal and
access.

With the dry summers, the
Reservation is always in constant threat of wild fires. Arson is
also a contributing factor to the wild fires. The Tule River
Reservation Fire Department is comprised of residents from the
reservation.
