Individual Overhead.
Strike team deployments involve an Engine Company or Battalion Chief /Deputy Chief
responding with their vehicle as part of a multi- agency team to an incident. Individual Overhead
resources respond to fill a specific role for an incident, such as Safety Officer or Line Emergency
Medical Technician (EMT). Following the return from one of these incidents, reimbursement
paperwork and invoices are submitted by the Fire Department to Cal -OES. The additional funds,
if appropriated, will reimburse Fire Department overtime and travel expenditures incurred during
these incidents.
