6. DISCUSSION AND BACKGROUND
The Fire Department is a party to a state-level agreement with The California State Office
of Emergency Services (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 or 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.
