Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The provision for fire fighting is provided by our government under criteria that sets out which are priority areas the beneficiary under those claims have exclusive ownership over certain tracks of land. As private land owners, they would have the right to fight their own fires within those areas as they deem necessary. We would fight fires only in areas that were deemed to be more or less in the public interest and set out as priority areas by communities and under our own policies. Thank you.
