Orange A quick response agreement between the fire departments of the cities of Orange and Villa Park and Orange County, which has been in effect for the past few years, has been expanded to include the communities of El Modena, Cowan Heights and Orange Park Acres. The agreement, which also includes the City of Villa Park and portions of the North Tustin area, provides that the nearest unit will respond to an emergency call regardless of jurisdiction. City Council members once again have voted not to participate in the federal flood insurance program. The action would eliminate any chance for federal funds for renovation or reconstruction in areas inundated by a so-called 100-year flood. It marked the 19th time since 1979 that participation in the federal flood insurance program had been discussed by the council.
