Island Fire Safety

We on Barndoor are trying to upgrade our fire safety on the Island. We have considered buying hp pumps, rakes and hoses. We see the main threat as brush fires as that is what we have experienced in the past. Key is to keep things under control until Alton or Wolfeboro FDs show up with their boats.

High pressure pumps as indicated above are an option, but logistics, operation and maintenance are issues.

What have some of the other Islands done or considered in this regard? Of course the first action would be to call 911 Then we think we should do something other than run like h___. What else can we or should we do?
