I think you may be confused as to what consolidation of fire organizations might be. It's a better use of the taxpayers money. This in no way effects how we do business. It does however gives us a better chance to have equipment and personnel to your emergency in a timely matter. As for your example of the fire on Tilton Rd. not only local agencies were dispatched as well as ground and air support from Calfire, depending on the location the only thing that changes is who is charge of the incident i.e. local or state agencies. In the state and county there is wide range of mutual aid agreement which exist just for these kinds of incidents to ensure emergency are handle with the proper personnel and equipment.
Question, with consolidation of fire organizations, what will be the interface with CalFire as in for example, the recent fire on Tilton Road where aircraft were CalFire, but I suppose there were people on the ground?

Thanks
Calfire was the lead agency on that small fire (just under half-an-acre), but Gold Ridge also was on the scene to fight that fire.
