Fort Belvoir Army Fire & Emergency Services

Fort Belvoir Fire & Emergency Services operates as a branch of the installation's Directorate of Emergency Services (DES), providing round-the-clock fire suppression, emergency medical, technical rescue, hazardous materials, and fire prevention services to the Army post and its surrounding community in Fairfax County, Virginia.

The department runs four numbered fire stations spread across the installation's North Post, South Post, and Davison Airfield areas, plus a dedicated Community Risk Reduction Branch that handles fire prevention and inspection work out of a separate facility. This footprint lets crews cover both the built-up cantonment area and the airfield from geographically distinct houses.

Beyond emergency response, FES emphasizes community risk reduction, offering residents an at-home fire safety self-assessment tool and maintaining an active presence on its own social media channels to share safety messaging and department news. The department states a vision of becoming the premier fire and emergency services organization in the Department of Defense, built on core values of accountability, communication, courage, dedication, integrity, respect, and teamwork.

Fort Belvoir Fire & Emergency Services is staffed by Department of Defense civilian firefighter and emergency services personnel. Openings are filled as federal civil service positions and posted through USAJobs.gov, which the department links to as its employment resource, rather than through a separate departmental application system.
