Fire & Rescue Cuts Put Lives at Risk Fairfax Countyโ€™s proposed FY26 budget cuts will eliminate FOUR emergency units, leading to longer wait times for critical EMS services. Units at risk: A416 (Clifton) A420 (Gunston) A441 (Crosspointe/Fairfax Station) M439 (North Point/Herndon)

EMS Cuts Put Lives at Risk! Last week, Ambulance 416 saved a gunshot victim. Under the FY26 budget, it and other critical units face elimination, leading to dangerous delays in care. Public safety isnโ€™t optional. Speak up before itโ€™s too late! #local2068 #fairfaxcounty #FCFRD

Thanks to the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors, County Executive Hill, staff, and YOUR voices, funding for ALL four EMS transport units has been fully restored in the FY26 Budget. A major win for public safety and the community we serve. Thank you, Fairfax County!
