BREAKING: Fairfax Co Firefighters, paramedics & 911 dispatchers endorse @RachnaHeizer for Braddock District Supervisor! Over her career she’s fought for workers rights & has committed to keeping public safety a priority! Go to electrachna.com to find out more!

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!

𝗦𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗔𝗺𝗯𝘂𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝟰𝟭𝟲: Don’t cut public safety in FY26. A416 serves a large area with long transport times, backing up nearby units + preventing coverage gaps. Cutting it puts lives at risk. Tell your Supervisor: keep A416 in the budget. #SaveAmbulance416 #Local2068

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 isn’t optional. Speak up before it’s too late! #local2068 #fairfaxcounty #FCFRD
