Our service represents a combined effort of volunteers and career employees who respond to emergency incidents 24 hours a day, 7 days per week. Our principal goal is to provide you the highest level of efficient and professional emergency fire and rescue service possible. We operate from 19 stations, providing a full range of emergency response to the citizens of Loudoun County and the seven incorporated Towns. By way of reciprocal mutual aid agreements, services are also provided to the Loudoun County's neighboring jurisdictions. In 2016, our service responded to over 29,500 incidents! In addition to conventional “first responder” services, we manage various core public safety sections. These include 9-1-1 Emergency Communications, the Office of Emergency Management, Fire & EMS Training, Fire & Life Safety Education, Fire Prevention Code Enforcement, Fire Investigations, Volunteer Coordination and Planning & Administrative services. The following programs and critical public safety messages are on the forefront of our fight for safety, knowledge and prevention: "Put a Finger On It" Smoke Alarm Program Open Burning Regulations in Loudoun County Alert Loudoun “Put it Out. All the way. Every time.” Safety tips to avoid fires caused by improperly discarded smoking materials. P.A.D Public Access to Defibrillators CPR Training for Residents In addition to our website, we encourage you to follow along with us through social media. These resources will serve as your window to the departments activities, our people and our organization. Lastly, I encourage you to visit any of our fire and rescue facilities. They will be happy to show you around, answer your questions and, perhaps, entice you to join our service. It is, after all, among the most noble of professions. |
