History of Fire Station 15
1950s - The housing boom which followed World War II significantly impacted Fairfax County with an abundance of new bedroom communities. These communities responded to their local fire and emergency medical needs by organizing new volunteer departments. The original group of volunteer stations would require any new fire station to be sponsored by an existing company, i.e., Companies 1 (McLean) and 4 (Herndon) sponsored Station 12 (Great Falls); Company 3 (Fairfax City) sponsored Station 14 (Burke), Station 16 (Clifton), and Station 17 (Centreville); Company 4 (Herndon) sponsored Station 15 (Chantilly) and Station 21 (Fair Oaks); Company 5 (Franconia) sponsored Station 22 (Springfield); Company 6 (Falls Church) sponsored Station 13 (Dunn Loring).
