Why Move Fire Station 8?
Replacement identified in 2015-2024 CIP
Part of the overall effort to continuously improve the
system and bring equal levels of service to as much of
the County as possible
reach many more North Arlington properties within the
preferred response time of four minutes
Bring station up to current standards and space
requirements
Part of ongoing improvements, not meant to solve the
total north county gap

Site Selection Criteria
Criteria for relocating FS#8 is based on an independent analysis by TriData
and guidance from Arlington County Board:
An increase in the number of households reached in 4-6 minutes
1.5 acre site already owned by the County (or likely to come into the
County's control expeditiously and at a feasible cost)
Proximity to major arterial street(s)
A location that does not adversely affect the distribution of workload
among the system of fire stations.
