Thank You from the Arcola Volunteer Fire Department!

Many thanks to our community for your generous support this year on the Santa Breakfast and Santa Parades.

We collected over 400 toys and 2100 pounds of food for the Loudoun County Community Holiday Coalition.  Each year nearly 1,000 volunteers and donors come together to "Brighten up the Holidays" for low-income Loudoun County residents.  These programs are supported by the community -- churches, schools, businesses, clubs and civic organizations, youth groups and concerned individuals. They make it possible to bring the "magic" of the holiday season to so many in our community.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and your family!

Groundbreaking on Brambleton Public Safety Center

On Thursday, September 29, 2011, members of the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors, Arcola Volunteer Fire Department, and the Loudoun County Fire-Rescue system came together to celebrate the groundbreaking of a new state-of-the-art facility: the Brambleton Public Safety Center. The center will be the future home of Fire and Rescue Station #9 and the Department of Fire, Rescue, and Emergency Management’s Fire Marshal’s Office.

The Public Safety Center site is located at 23675 Belmont Ridge Road on approximately five acres of land proffered from The Brambleton Group.  The planned facility will house an engine company, advanced-life support ambulance and other essential emergency response units. In addition to emergency response apparatus, all services performed by the Loudoun County Fire Marshal’s Office will be provided from this facility.

The staffing for Station 9 will consist of both career and volunteer members of the Loudoun County Fire-Rescue system. Career staff will provide emergency services from 6:00 a..m to 6:00 p.m, while the volunteer membership from the Arcola Volunteer Fire Department will be responsible for staffing from 6:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m.
