The Brea Fire Department is the agency that provides fire protection and emergency medical services for Brea, California. The departments origins date back to 1917, when the city of Brea was incorporated.[3] The department was initially entirely volunteer.

On May 3, 2011 Brea and the Fullerton Fire Department from the adjacent city of Fullerton entered into an agreement to share the command structure of their respective fire departments.[4] Under this agreement both share a fire chief, three division chiefs (operations, fire marshal, and administration), and four battalion chiefs (BC's). Three are shift battalion chiefs, and one is the battalion chief in charge of training. The command structure sharing agreement, will save Fullerton $463,000 annually, and will save Brea $881,000 annually.[4]
