Stafford County Fire and Rescue unveiled Fire Boat 1500 today at a christening ceremony held at Hope Springs Marina on Aquia Creek.
The new fireboat represents a significant upgrade in the county’s ability to respond to water-related emergencies and enhance public safety along the Potomac River and its tributaries.

The Stafford County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a lease agreement to store the county's new fireboat at Hope Springs Marina. The fireboat delivered a few months ago will now be housed in a wet boat slip at the 4 Hope Springs Lane marina.
The lease agreement, approved during the board's meeting, includes a 10-year lease with two optional five-year renewals. The base rent for the slip is set at $3,000 per year, with a 3% annual escalation.
