If you noticed firefighters walking through Shirlington this morning, no need to panic. That was Recruit Class 83 becoming acclimated and training in their fire gear. #ACFDrc83
On Monday Assistant Chief Jenkins administered the recruit oath to the 21 personnel of Recruit Class 83, officially beginning their career in the fire service. Over the next six months, the recruits will work hard to develop their skills in firefighting and EMS, as well as learn important teamwork and leadership abilities at the Fire Training Academy. Good luck RC83!
Animal control was notified of a bird that had fallen out of a nest and requested FD assistance with a ladder. Upon arriving the animal control officer discovered 4 birds in a small nest and wanted to replace the small nest with a larger man made nest to allow room for all 4 babies. Engine 109’s crew assisted with the request and under Animal Control supervision replaced the small nest with the new upgraded nest. 🐣 All baby birds are doing well!
Recruit Class 82 is conducting their final live fire training exercise before graduation. 17 recruits are slated to graduate next month and become probationary firefighters with the ACFD.
REMINDER - The Fire Marshal is instituting a complete FIRE BAN for Arlington County through midnight Sunday, Nov 19, 2023. No open burning of any type will be allowed. This includes burning of yard debris, the use of outdoor fireplaces and pits, open flame cooking devices, etc.

Important lesson from the crew at Fire Station 10! Every minute a fire doubles in size! Make sure you have your fire safety plan in place, because fire won't wait!
Be prepared, make a plan, and practice your plan! A reminder from Fire Station 2 that a plan is only good if you practice it, and everyone knows the plan!
