It is highly regarded within the profession as an innovator and leader in enhancing the industry.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://fire.arlingtonva.us/home/about/ )〕 Among its many firsts are the hiring of the first female career firefighter in the world in 1974 and partnering with the United States Public Health Service to develop America's first Metropolitan Medical Strike Team to respond to the consequences of a chemical, biological or radiological terrorist attack.
The ACFD operates ten stations and is a signatory to an automatic regional response plan with neighboring Fairfax County as well as the city of Alexandria, and participates in a regional mutual aid pact with the District of Columbia and the Maryland counties of Montgomery and Prince George’s.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.novaregion.org/DocumentCenter/Home/View/1682 )〕 Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, also in Arlington County, fields a fire department as part of the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority Fire and Rescue Department and works closely with the county's fire service. The 300-plus employees of the Fire Department are committed to eliminating threats to the lives, safety and property of the Arlington community.
