The Fairfax County Fire and Rescue Department is a combination career and volunteer organization providing fire suppression, emergency medical, technical rescue, hazardous materials, water rescue, life safety education, fire prevention and arson investigation services to Fairfax County, Virginia. Emergency medical services include advanced life support response by paramedic engines and medic transport units.
In the 800MHz trunked radio system, Fairfax County Fire and Rescue is channel 4. All FCFR units begin with 4 followed by the station number. For example, the engine from station 4 is Engine 404, and the tower-ladder from station 36 is Tower 436. Reserve units begin with 8 instead of 4.
Fairfax County Fire and Resuce Department consists of 36 fire stations with a 37th slated to be in use by March 2007. The stations cover an area of 395 square miles. With over 1,300 uniformed staff, Fairfax County Fire and Rescue Department is the largest fire department in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
Fire hydrants are quite common in Fairfax County and thus the county only has 3 tanker trucks stationed in the more rural and spread out parts of the county: Great Falls, Clifton and the area around U.S. Route 1 near Gunston.
