Loudoun County,Va.

The new Fire Station 23 (Moorefield Station, in Ashburn) opened on July 7th. A variety of equipment at FS 23 - an engine, medic unit, ambulance, tanker, mobile air unit, medical ambulance bus, and the EMS Battalion Chief.



Fire Station 23 originally opened in 2004 as a combination voluteer/career department. In 2009, all operations were turned over to the county when Fire Station 22 opened in Lansdowne as a combination volunteer/career station. Ashburn volunteers would run from two stations - Station 6 and 22. As a result, FS 23 became county operated.



Here is a photo of old FS 23, the "Warehouse". Personally, lot's of good memories here. It will now be used to house the Fire Marshall's vehicles and some other miscellaneous apparatus.
