Happy 50th anniversary to West Annandale Fire Station 23 at 8914 Little River Turnpike.
The Annandale Volunteer Fire Department (AVFD) hosted a dedication for the new fire station on Nov. 14, 1970. At the time it was called the Guinea Road Fire Station.
The station was built as a sister station to Station 8 on Columbia Pike in Annandale. It was the last volunteer-built station in Fairfax County. The AVFD, founded in 1940, is the only volunteer department with more than one fire station.
