SUPPRESSION APPARATUS

Ashburn Volunteer Fire and Rescue Department’s Suppression pieces serve as both fire suppression apparatus and rescue apparatus. Units are staffed 24/7 and operate from both Ashburn’s Station 6 and Landsdowne Public Safety Station 22. For suppression, Station 6 houses three engines, one tower and one truck. Station 22 houses two engines. Explore our suppression apparatus below.
