With Chief O'Neal's retirement approaching on July 1, we had the opportunity today to come together and wish him well.

Chief O'Neal has dedicated more than 10 years of service to the City of Fairfax Fire Department, culminating in an outstanding 45-year career in the fire service.

Reflecting on his career, Chief O'Neal shared:
"There is no better calling and profession than that of a firefighter and firefighter/paramedic. Every day is an opportunity to help others. Going into retirement, I still truly believe this. Thank you for the opportunity to serve."

Today, we thank him for his many years of service. We are grateful for his leadership, dedication, and lasting contributions to our department and community.

Please join us in thanking Chief O'Neal and wishing him all the best in retirement.

Our department was honored to participate in one of the City’s largest CPR training events at Katherine Johnson Middle School! ❤️🚑

Approximately 1,100 seventh and eighth-grade students received hands-only CPR training, gaining valuable lifesaving skills and the confidence to act in an emergency.

This event was made possible through our continued partnership with Gwyneth's Gift Foundation, whose team provided the majority of the training equipment and led instruction throughout the event. Our staff supported the training by working alongside instructors, encouraging students, and providing real-time CPR feedback to help students practice effective chest compressions.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this impactful event a success and to the students for their enthusiasm and participation!

25 years, countless calls, and one incredible career. Please join us in celebrating Captain Trottman’s retirement from the City of Fairfax Fire Department!

From late-night calls to mentoring the next generation (some of whom weren't even born when you started with the department 😉), we appreciate your reliable presence over the past quarter century. We THANK YOU!

The firehouse won't be the same without you! Cheers to the next chapter, Captain!
