Arlington Professional Firefighters

The 200+ men and women who voted are devoted professional members of #ACFD. They carefully considered this significant decision. Each member has dedicated their lives to serving the citizens of Arlington County. It's deeply disappointing when County leaders dismiss their voices.

At the Arlington County Police Department, we believe great policing starts with great people. If you are looking for a career that offers top tier training, meaningful service, and real opportunity for growth, apply today. 🔗JoinArlingtonCountyPD.com

Proposed cuts to Arlington rescue units prompt backlash from firefighter union arlnow.com/2026/03/05/pro…

Progress Takes Pressure. And We’re Not Letting Up. Local 3217 remains fully committed to securing full collective bargaining rights for our members at the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority. This isn’t about politics. This isn’t about headlines.

Arlington firefighters and their union are sounding the alarm over a proposed plan that could consolidate two rescue companies into one, potentially impacting 12 firefighters’ roles and resources. fox5dc.com/news/firefight…

🚨 PUBLIC SAFETY ALERT Seconds count in an emergency. The County Manager’s proposed budget would consolidate ACFD’s two Heavy Rescues into one, cutting our capabilities in half, leaving our community vulnerable. From Metro incidents to house fires, these specialized teams are the first ones through the door to find you. #ArlingtonFirefighters #SaveRescue102and109 #ArlingtonVA #FirstResponders #publicsafety

On the way back from a call, R109 stopped to give a helping hand 🫸🚘. Looking out for our community, on and off the call.

@ARLnowDOTcom Please stay off the roads if you can—conditions are treacherous. Quick response from @ArlingtonVaFD and @ArlingtonVaPD at the scene, and for all @ArlingtonVA workers out in the snow keeping things moving. Stay safe! #ArlingtonVA #ACFD #Station9

Woman rescued from early-morning house fire in Alcova Heights arlnow.com/2025/08/12/wom…

Last night around 10:30pm, Arlington & @AlexandriaVAFD units responded to a multi-vehicle crash at the Shirlington Circle exit. One vehicle was pinned in a T-bone collision. R109 removed the doors & roof for extrication. Driver transported with non-life-threatening injuries.

Breaking: Units are on scene of a house fire on the 3700 block of 8th St S. Crews arrived to find active fire showing from the roof. One conscious victim has been rescued from the second floor. Expect a larger fire department presence and avoid the area if possible.

We too stand strong against any attempt to intimidate our brothers and sisters advocating for public safety.

Today #FCFRD honors Capt Barry Maham who passed away 3/31/25 from occupational cancer. Around 11am a procession will travel from Jefferson Funeral Chapel to Expectation Church for Capt Maham's Celebration of Life. Expect traffic & increased public safety presence along the route.

During a recent fire, a vehicle dangerously ran over one of our charged hose lines. This reckless action put us at significant risk, as it could have caused the hose to burst and leave us without water. Please, if you encounter a hose line on the road, exercise patience.

Units continue to work on hot spots. All occupants are accounted for. No firefighter or occupant injuries reported at this time.
