Thanks for the older Falls Church pics Warren, I really like that Seagrave. I seem to recall Mike Sanders once telling me that Falls Church was originally part of Fairfax County. If that is true, how did it become part of the Arlington County FD?

Thanks!According to a 1973 ACFD yearbook that contains a history by Frank Higgins; Falls Church VFD was organized in 1923 as part of Arlington Co. The firehouse was almost on the Falls Church City/Arlington Co. line.There is a reference in a response survey that Falls Church was aligned operationally with Fairfax prior to 1968.I hope Mike or someone with better knowledge about this is out there!
