Ambulances
Ambulances can be of two types, basic or advanced life support. They differ by the equipment carried and the qualifications of the staff on the unit. Basic life support (BLS) ambulances are staffed by two Firefighter/EMTs and respond to basic medical emergencies such as joint injuries, broken bones, back and neck pain, general sickness, cuts and abrasions, and many other non-life threatening medical emergencies. Advanced life support (ALS) ambulances (more commonly referred to as “medic” units) are staffed by one Officer/Paramedic and one Firefighter/Paramedic, and carry additional specialty equipment and drugs to support acute medical emergencies including respiratory, obstetrical, cardiac, and diabetic problems, as well as serious physical trauma to the body.

	Utilities & Command Vehicles
	Utilities and command vehicles are specialty units used by command officers to respond and operate from during emergencies, at special events to transport personal and equipment, and for general transportation of department personal on department business. There are two utility/command vehicles assigned to Company 13. The first is our 2000 Ford Expedition custom comment and utility vehicle. This unit is utilized as a command vehicle by volunteer staff at special events, as a utility, and also as a reserve vehicle for the County owned command buggies in our battalion. The second is the Battalion Chief's command vehicle assigned to BC402. The BC  oversees all operations in the battalion to which they are assigned. Fairfax County is divided into seven battalions; our fire station lies in Battalion 2. BC's hold the rank of Captain II and are employees of Fairfax County. They are fully qualified Advanced Life Support providers. BC402's buggy is a 2009 Ford F-350 Extended Cab Pickup.
