On Oct. 17, Prince William County broke ground on the new Fire and Rescue Department's Station 27 near the Dumfries and Spriggs Roads intersection. This station will be the county's 23rd.
Potomac District Supervisor Andrea Bailey, the district in which the station will reside, said this is of the utmost importance to the community.
"With Station 27, we're bringing faster emergency response times, state-of-the-art equipment and a dedicated team of firefighters and first responders," Bailey said. "... It's an investment in our future and a testament to the hard work of everyone involved in making this vision a reality."
