In July 2012, the <br />City transitioned SAFD to the Orange County Fire Authority (OCFA) to continue providing fire <br />services to the community. To acknowledge and preserve the history of SAFD, the Santa Ana <br />Historical Preservation Society (SAHPS) has proposed merging with the Santa Ana Fire Museum <br />(SAFM) to continue the Museum's operation. SAHPS is in the process of finalizing a lease <br />agreement with OCFA to allow it to operate SAFM at Fire Station 75. To facilitate SAHPS's <br />desire to operate SAFM, SAHPS has requested a donation of $5,000 dollars from the City. This <br />donation will assist in offsetting the start-up cost of operating the Museum. <br />SAHPS has also requested that the City donate a 1921 Seagrave fire truck which will be <br />displayed at the SAFM and used for civic celebrations and events.
