7. DISCUSSION and BACKGROUND
The Fire Department is a party to a state -level agreement with Cal -OES to provide fire and
emergency assistance to State and Federal Fire agencies. This agreement is managed by Cal -OES
and referred to as the California Fire Assistance Agreement (CFAA). Under this agreement,
Orange City Fire Department generally provides resources two different ways; Strike Teams and
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.
