Mr. Chairman, all I can do is say that there is $8,608,000 that is for fire suppression. How that is allocated, I cannot break out by community because that depends on where the fires happen. The pre-suppression money, that is the aircraft contracts and so on, come to $12,044,000 including everything. It could happen one year that one particular community will spend a million dollars. Another year they might spend zero, depending on the fire season. It is like running a city fire season. We have to spend the money and have the activity where the fires are. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
