1,800 men and women proudly serving the citizens and visitors of Fairfax County, Virginia

 

WE ARE YOUR COUNTY FIREFIGHTERS

Our membership consists of nearly 1,800 active and retired fire fighters and paramedics. Additionally, the membership is made up of mechanics from the Fire and Rescue Department Apparatus Shops and the 9-1-1 call takers and dispatchers working at the Department of Public Safety Communications Center. Our fire fighters and paramedics respond from 37 fire stations- 7 battalions while providing emergency services to over 1 million citizens residing within 404 square miles of Fairfax County property. Thus, our members respond to approximately 90,000 suppression, emergency medical, and public service incidents annually.

 

DID YOU KNOW?

The Fairfax County Professional Firefighters & Paramedics are paid employees of the county government. We staff every station 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.  
Do not be confused by fire engines and ambulances that read 'volunteer'. These are staffed year round 24 hours a day by paid employees of the Fairfax County Fire & Rescue Department.
The building and trucks may say volunteer, but all of Fairfax County is protected by full time, paid county firefighters and paramedics, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
The reality is your emergency services are all funded by county tax dollars. There is no connection between contributions and emergency services. You do not have to contribute whatsoever.
Volunteers have little accountability for how contributions are spent. Some are good with the money, while others squander a great deal of money. Either way, there is little oversight.
We recommend HEROES, INC - a non-profit that provides support to the surviving family of members of Metropolitan Washington Area fire, rescue, or law enforcement workers killed in the line of duty. http://heroes-inc.org

Keeping Fit at the Fire Station
We all know the days of pick-up basketball and two-hand touch football at the fire station are over, but does that mean the treadmill and the bench press are the only things left? Many things interrupt our workout schedules at the fire station. We have our normal call volume, drills, Desire2Learn, community events, and the list goes on and on. So how are we supposed to keep in shape? Additionally, every station has people with a wide range of abilities, whether it be strength or endurance. So ho...
