Engine 13 responds to the same type of incidents as
Engine 11 and has the additional responsibility of cross-staffing Cal EMA 292. Cal EMA 292 is a fire engine owned by the California Emergency Management Agency (Cal EMA).
Cal EMA Engines

Cal EMA Engines respond to major incidents when requested through the local EMA coordinator. Responses can be state-wide and often last several days. All costs incurred are reimbursed through the
Cal EMA. There are seven Cal EMA Engines in San Diego County, and La Mesa considers it a privilege to have one.
