Alexandria certainly does need that new Station 209 in Potomac Yards, they don't have enough floor space for all the new specialty equipment. A developer is paying for a 3 story station with affordable housing on top of the station in order to get city approval for a development that is more dense than they might otherwise allow in that area. Some of the trade off involved narrow streets and getting apparatus to all the buildings. Those that hear about the new station might want to confirm what I have been told. They are planning to keep Station 202 in the Del Ray section of the city open with Medic 202 stationed there.
Alexandria is planning for building a new station, Station 211 in the next few years in the growing portion of the city along Eisnehower Avenue which runs along the North side of the Capital Beltway. Station 211 will respond to the Eisenhower Valley, to incidents on the Beltway and into Fairfax County, all areas now in Engine 207's first due.
