Fauquier County is moving forward with a transition from a 48-hour to a 42-hour work week for Fire Rescue System employees. This strengthens the department’s ability to recruit and retain fire rescue technicians and supports the long-term health, safety, and well-being of our personnel who serve our community every day. The new work schedule will allow Fauquier County Fire Rescue to meet the demands of the community. Read press release here.
