“That’s our responsibility as delegates because we appropriate those monies, to ask where is that money going?” she said. “We receive complaints from the community … to me it seems those services aren’t being provided.” In addition to providing re and rescue services, the Ganado Fire District o ers community training in CPR, rst aid, re safety and basic life support, said Roanhorse. They also assist wildland re ghters. LOC member Vince James said he was thankful for his community’s re district for “stepping up” and providing CPR training for the community, adding he’s not aware whether the Navajo Nation Fire Department is providing those classes for the Nation. “I know you have individuals who come from Chinle, Sanders – that come all the way from Dilkon – to sit through your CPR training,” said James, “because it’s needed. Your concern of where the Nation is stepping in, that’s really interesting to hear.” In a brief interview with the Times, Navajo Nation Fire Department Capt. John Williams said the department wasn’t noti ed or invited to this Law and Order meeting. “They do whatever they’re doing,” said Williams about Ganado Fire District’s list of services.
