A message from the fire chief:
All,
As we approach the 20th remembrance of 9/11 tomorrow, I would like to ask each of you to take the time to reflect tomorrow with a moment of silence for all of those who tragically paid the ultimate sacrifice during the attack on the United States along with those that survived suffering from long term physical and mental health-related consequences. I would also ask to remember all of our military service members and their families that served over the last years 20-years in the war on terror.
On that tragic day, the United States experienced 2,977 fatalities and 25,000 injuries. It is estimated over 2,000 responders and other victims continue to suffer from long-term health consequences to date.
Sadly 9/11 was the deadliest one day on record for emergency services personnel giving the ultimate sacrifice, including:
ā¢ 343 firefighters (including 2 FDNY medics & chaplain)
ā¢ 37 Port Authority Police Officers
ā¢ 23 NYPD officers
ā¢ 8 private EMS providers
9/11 Timeline of events:
ā¢ 08:46 The 1st plane strikes the North Tower of the WTC
ā¢ 09:03 The 2nd plane strikes the South Tower of the WTC
ā¢ 09:37 The 3rd plane strikes the Pentagon killing 125 military members and civilian DoD personnel
ā¢ 09:57 The South Tower collapses
ā¢ 10:07 The 4th plane crashes in Somerset County, PA, after the heroic passengers attempted to retake control of the plane
ā¢ 10:28 The North Tower collapses
My ask to each of you is to use this timeline to reflect and never forget the victims of 9/11, those that served in the war on terror, those that still suffer from the long-term effects of that tragic day, and give thanks to those you love and/or care for.
In 2016, the President declared September 11 as Patriot Day and the National Day of Service. If you have the opportunity, please help make a difference in someoneās life that is less fortunate than you and yours as a way to honor the victims of 9/11. One way to make a difference locally is to contribute to the Fairfax City Food Drive (stuff the bus) to be held on 9/11 at Van Dyck Park, located on Old Lee Highway. The city is collecting non-perishable food to provide to area non-profits from 10am to 3pm.
Thanks to all that help protect and serve our community every day!
Please stay safe and healthy,
Chief John O'Neal

We had a little bit of a surprise rescue this week... While on scene at an incident, our friendly neighborhood Starship robot became hung up in our fire hose. We were very happy and proud to help him along his way... #cutelittleguy #helpeveryone #starshiprobots #bestcommunity City of Fairfax Government Starship Technologies City of Fairfax Fire Department Fairfax City Economic Development Authority
Happy Birthday Max
Last week, firefighters from Station 403 were able to bring some smiles to a big fan from the City of Fairfax community. FE403 stopped by to wish our neighbor Max a very happy birthday (while still observing safe social distance practices, of course). We would like to thank Maxās family and friends for letting us be a small part of his special day. #HappyBirthdayMax #CommunityFirst #CityofFairfax
Happy Halloween. This morning Master Firefighter Josh McCuin stopped by Daniels Run Elementary and helped with the morning announcements. Which are done with live video, by the way. He offered some great Halloween safety tips, so we offer them here in a ābehind the scenesā look. Be careful out there tonight!
OEM promotional video
The City's Office of Emergency Management recently had a video produced highlighting some of their work. Take a look and see how you can be better informed and prepared for the unforeseen.
Fill the Boot 2019
The City's communications team filmed a short video with A-shift before they hit the streets for Fill the Boot today. But let's be real, a lot of us don't have cash with us in this age of swiping and waving phones to pay for everything. True story, your friendly CFFD Facebook administrator owes the guy in this video from Emergency Management $10. If he had a website set up to receive the money I probably would have paid him a long time ago. Luckily, this year there is a website set up for you to donate to MDA Greater Washington, DC, and if you use our team page that donation stays local. No cash, no problem, you can still help change a life. Thank you! www.filltheboot.donordrive.com/team/5871
Free Smoke Alarms
Do you live in the City of Fairfax? Was your house or condo built more than 10 years ago? Chances are really good that if it was, and you don't know when you last installed smoke alarms, you need new ones. Call us, we'll schedule a time to come out and evaluate what you have for free. Then we'll either install new smoke alarms or work with you to understand the finer points of what your system needs depending on your circumstances. Thanks to the City of Fairfax Government Communications folks for putting this promo video together and to Fairfax County Fire and Rescue Department for obtaining a grant to fund the alarms we're presently distributing. Hollywood hasn't come calling for our actor yet, but we hope you will!
You know how most folks look up when they hear a helicopter? We do it too. Fairfax County Police Department assisted us with an air medical transport of an injured person from a landing zone set up at Fairfax City Parks and Recreationās Stafford Park field today.
CFFD live fire training 2018
Yesterday we posted a few photos from our annual live burn training. Today we have a video for you, we hope you enjoy it. If you just want to see the "blooper reel" skip to the end.
A surprise thank you visit
We had a really great thank you visit from a family that attends a school we pass by regularly near the station. Unfortunately we're only able to successfully share this one video, but the two younger kids in the background here also did an excellent dance routine, and we covered the (really big) kitchen table with the hand made thank you bags they brought. We're so grateful for all the time and talent that was shared with us!
The highlight of our National Night Out rounds so far has been this playing of the anthem by Jacob Chroussis.
Last night CFFD swiftwater rescue personnel operating off Tower Ladder 403 (which carries basic water rescue equipment) brought a motorist to safety from a flooded roadway in the Fairfax Station area. The individual was located standing on the hood of their car in rising water. A few days ago another driver was rescued from the roof of their fully submerged car, a slip into the current from which would have almost certainly been fatal. Choosing to enter flooded areas is the leading cause of flood related death, and these rescues are extremely dangerous for our personnel. Flood waters often conceal downed live power lines, washed out roadways and other hazards, in addition to frequently containing hazardous substances washed into the water when it rises beyond normal levels. Please; #turnarounddontdrown.
Tiller Truck driver's training, pre-teen version.
The McCuin family tiller truck. Built by our own Josh McCuin's father for Josh's girls, this amazing tiller truck has fully functional rear steering and we understand working ladder extension and outriggers are coming very soon.
Signs of Spring
We accomplish a lot of our classroom based training and recertifications in the winter months by design, but with spring many of our annual outdoor training and testing events return, as do a few fun extras. We put together a quick "highlight reel" of some of these from the past couple of weeks, everything from presentation of the colors at a Washington Nationals game, to the last Work Performance Evaluation our current Senior Officer, Captain Joe Schumacher, will ever have to complete. We hope you enjoy, and we thank Ms. Jen Jacobsen for the audio of her performance of the National Anthem during the featured baseball game, as well as the video from the field.

First responders have enough to worry when they are on the front lines protecting all of us. But many are scared that they donāt have proper plans in place to protect themselves or their families if they should get sick.
The Legacy Elder Law Center can solve that problem. Effective immediately, and for a limited time, the Center is cutting the cost of its āBasicsā and āFundamentalsā planning packages for these men and women who are keeping us safe.
They can get the planning they need done right and fast, working with our experienced, professional team in a safe, virtual environment without any face to face to meetings.
Please feel free to share this offer to your colleagues and friends to help them in these uncertain times.
Call us at 703-988-7975 or copy our email address [email protected] to get your planning done now.

Hello!
My name is Brandan and I work with Life Line Screening. We provide preventative health screenings for seniors to see if they are at risk for heart attack and stroke. We have an event coming up in the community soon, and I was wondering if you could possibly share the event to your page to help spread the word, and let the community members know we will be coming in the community? Every Like, Tag, or Share could save a life. Thank you.
