The History of the City of Tustin Fire Department

The History of Tustin’s Fire Department

How did Tustin’s Volunteer firefighting force develop from a converted (and donated) Buick fire truck to a full-time department to part of the county-wide Orange County Fire Authority?

OCFA Fire Battalion Chief Marc Hawkins (retired), Laura Blaul (former Fire Marshall), and Tustin City Fireman Mike Ferdig (retired) will share the history of the department from a Volunteer Fire Dept, to a paid (career) Tustin Fire Dept, and now to be contracted with the Orange County Fire Authority.
