Service Delivery Models
CFA operates two main models for delivering fire and emergency services:
1. **Volunteer Brigade Model**: This model relies on volunteers supported by district staff, including Brigade Administrative Support Officers (BASOs), community education staff, and operations officers.
2. **Integrated Brigade Model**: This unique model integrates volunteers with operational staff, creating a collaborative environment where both works together in brigade and rank structures. This model enhances everyday service delivery and provides surge capacity for major incidents.
