Two Placentia Police lieutenants alleged misconduct by Orange County Fire Authority firefighters Thursday, detailing incidents that happened within days of the City Council voting to form its own fire department.
The Placentia City Council voted 3-1 Wednesday morning to form its own fire department after years of rising costs contracting with the Orange County Fire Authority.
After years of rising costs to Placentia, it could be time for the city to leave the Orange County Fire Authority and form its own fire department, but OCFA officials said if the city leaves, it won’t get as much fire service or mutual aid.
