There are 34 County stations located in Fairfax. Vienna, Herndon, and Clifton are independent towns that are considered separate political entites from their surrounding county/citys. Uncle Sam operates 3 Belvoir and 1 Mt. Vernon Estates. John Foster Dulles Airport has one station located within Fairfax.
How many old house are still standing in Fairfax ?

I am going to assume, and therefore answer if Paul is asking how many active stations there are in Fairfax County.
My answer: It depends. As rpfleer points out there are several indpendent agencies (ie MWAA, Mount Vernon, and Fort Belvoir - US Army) in Fairfax County. He also correctly points out that through the incredibly screwed up (in my opinion) way Virginia incorporates it's cities you can have indpendent cities that are not considered part of any County subdivision. That is why the City of Alexandria has a police department and a sheriff department and Arlington County has a police and a sheriff department. So is Paul's question inclusive of the Virginia method of indpendent city incorporation or not......that is why my answer depends.....
If you take the political subdivision organization into consideration the answer is:
1 MWAA at Dulles (barely in FFX County)
1 Mount Vernon (1 station)
4 Fort Belvoir (4 fire stations) there is one EMS Station but Paul's question said fire stations so I am disregarding the EMS Station at Belvoir
34 FFX County FRD stations within the confines of the County (excludes FFX City 403, 433, Vienna 402, Hernon 404, and Clifton 416).
Total 40
Now if you going by the lose interpetation that anything within the outer boarders of FFX County is in the county, including independent cities.....
The answre is 40 plus 5 = 45.
