 +
into seven battalions, each managed by a battalion management
 +
team of a Battalion Fire Chief and EMS Captain. Fire suppression
 +
personnel and paramedics work in tandem to ensure the highest
 +
level of safety and care possible for the residents of Fairfax County.

Spfld (sta 7): "seven hundred" Fair Oaks (sta 8): "eight hundred" Units that begin with a 9, like 970B, are used county wide as over-flow patrol units. You can tell what station they're assigned to by looking at the second digit in their designator. Example: 970B is from West Springfield, Station 7 - 950B would be from Reston, Station 5. Shift Differentiation: Daywork - "Baker" unit (e.g. "eight-hundred baker") is daywork assigned to area 800 Evenings - "Charlie" unit (e.g. "four-ten charlie") is evening unit assigned to area 410 Midnights - "Adam" unit (e.g. "two-forty adam") is midnight unit assigned to area 240 X-ray unit - special assignment or traffic enforcement (e.g. "Xray 2x" - station 2 xray 3x - "station 3" etc etc) Set units - bike team or special assignment (e.g. "Set 45" - mason, "Set 21" - mt vernon) Squad Supervisors (usually 1 sgt and 1 lt per squad) use a "car" designator (e.g. "car-two adam" = station 2 midnight LT, "car-twenty adam" = station 2 midnight sgt, "car-three baker" = station 3 daywork lt, "car-thirty baker" = station 3 daywork sgt). CIS units are station level detectives (e.g. "CIS 21" = station 2 detective ) CIB units are department level detectives (major crimes etc. designators differentiate between divisions (auto squad, robbery etc) Wagon unit is designated by ending in an 8 - (e.g. "418 adam" is a midnight unit assigned to area 410 with the wagon) Double units are designeted by ending with a 9 (e.g. X029 is a double special assignment unit in Mt. Vernon, "two-nineteen adam" is a double unit in area 210/211)
