This project funds the demolition and replacement of Fire Station 203, located in the Beverly Hills area of the City of Alexandria. The new fire station will be a 15,000 square feet, two-story structure with two and a half operational bays to house an engine, a medic, administrative units, and all required personnel; as well as having the capacity for special service units.

Join with other concerned members of the Alexandria community to learn how to increase your neighborhood's disaster readiness and support the first responders who serve your neighborhood. Classes will take place each Thursday night (7 p.m. - 10 p.m.) beginning April 4 through May 9, plus Saturday, May 11 (8 a.m. - 12 p.m.). You must attend all sessions. Registration to participate is open through Friday, March 29.

In 2014, the Alexandria Fire Department began transitioning from a single-role staffing model to a dual-role or “all-hazards” model. The primary purposes of this transition are to provide a higher level of service to our community by ensuring that at least one member of every fire or ambulance crew will be certified to provide Advanced Life Support (ALS) care, and that all fire engines and trucks will have a crew of four instead of three.

The purpose of the Alexandria Community Fire Academy is to educate the Alexandria community about fire safety and emergency medical response, while learning about the history, administration, operations and apparatus of an urban public safety agency. The goal of the Academy is to build partnerships within the community by helping participants understand how the fire department works, and to encourage volunteering within the community.
