THE DEAL

* Union says dispute resolution officer will solve problems

* Premier Daniel Andrews went above the head of Emergency Services Minister Jane Garrett to push a deal through, but she resigned rather than support the deal

FEDERAL ELECTION IMPLICATIONS

* CFA volunteer anger could swing fringe Melbourne seats against Labor, despite it not being a federal issue

* The CFA has 60,000 volunteers across outer Melbourne and rural Victoria

WHAT NEXT?

* The deal cannot be signed until after June 22

* The new, as yet unappointed board will have to agree to sign it.
