Join us Sunday, June 14th 2026!
Stop by any time between 12-4 p.m.

Do you know how to help someone in cardiac arrest?

About 90% of people who experience cardiac arrest at home, work, or in public will die because they didn’t receive immediate CPR.

Before help arrives, YOU are the first responder! Knowing CPR means you’re prepared to save the life of a loved one or a stranger.

This training is free and pre-registration is not required. Due to safety concerns, this event is for adults only.

Please note that this is NOT a certification course. Training takes less than 30 minutes!

We sure have grown!

On This Day in Fairfax County History:

May 5, 1942: The Great Falls Volunteer Fire Department is organized. The first firehouse, pictured here, was originally a two-bay auto repair garage with a brick front and cinder block walls. The department grew from a small volunteer group with one truck into a fully staffed fire and rescue station serving Great Falls around the clock.

Over the years, GFVFD expanded its training, equipment, rescue services, and facilities, leading to the opening of a modern environmentally friendly station in 2011.

Our volunteers had a busy week! We staffed the Great Falls Spring Festival, the NCO Taekwondo Championship, and Great Falls Youth Rugby games. We also had a great visit with the Girl Scout Daisy Troop!

The second annual Lilly Joy Kishore Memorial Blood Drive was a great success. The community turnout to donate blood was tremendous, and our volunteers taught hands-only CPR to many guests — saving lives in two ways!
