Mission Viejo - Yesterday the OCFA UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) Program assisted Mission Viejo Animal Services in investigating a reported mountain lion sighting. Using FLIR (Forward-Looking Infrared) drone technology, our team was able to rule out a mountain lion and instead located an unhealthy bobcat in the area. Plans are underway to safely trap and transport the bobcat to a rehabilitation facility for care. While bobcats generally do not pose a risk to the public, if you encounter wildlife

OCFA and Quick Reaction Force (QRF) helicopters provided aerial reconnaissance over a refuse fire at the Olinda Alpha landfill in unincorporated Brea this evening as resources responded to reports of a possible vegetation fire called in by hikers in the area. Firefighters on the ground confined the fire— with no extension into the brush—before leaving the scene in the care of OC Waste and Recycling personnel and equipment. | Orange County Fire Authority
