The Best and Bravest Awards

The Annual Best and Bravest Awards Dinner honors the firefighters and professional staff of the Orange County Fire Authority (OCFA) who go above and beyond their already courageous, benevolent, and life-saving duties. The honorees are nominated by their colleagues for their bravery or exemplary services to the organization or community.

The Best and Bravest Awards Dinner honors the men and women of OCFA who protect the public on emergencies and provide service to our communities throughout Orange County. Held annually in the Spring, the banquet spotlights employees that have demonstrated heroic or meritorious performance and have gone above and beyond in the line of duty.
