Emergency personnel help residents compile strategies, emergency kits.
Members of the Fairfax County Fire Department from Herndon Station 4 as well as officers from the Herndon Police Department came out on Sunday to talk to community members about being prepared for emergencies. Jackie Johnson, a professional organizer known as the Or/gan/iz/er, hosted the event and showed attendees how to put together their own emergency preparation kits. The event was held at JJ Deli.

Jackie Johnson, a professional organizer, will demonstrate how to create an emergency kit and more.
Are you prepared for an emergency? Professional Organizer Jackie Johnson wants to help make sure Herndon area residents are ready in the case of an emergency — from power outages to hurricanes. Her notion of ensuring that people have what they need in an emergency began with Sept. 11, she said. Johnson was a teacher when Sept. 11 occurred, and after the incident, she went straight to JJ Deli, the restaurant she and her husband own at the Herndon Centennial Golf Course, she said. She asked herself how they could help others. After contacting the Arlington Red Cross, she and her husband worked assembly-line style to make boxed lunches for the volunteers at the Pentagon. “Food is comfort,” she said. “People always need food.” The event helped…

The new fire station will include underground parking, three bays which will hold four vehicles, larger women’s facilities, fitness facilities, a decontamination area and more.
The Herndon Town Council unanimously approved an ordinance rezoning the Herndon Fire Station, located at 680 Spring St., on Tuesday night. Fairfax County has plans to rebuild the station, which is more than 60 years old. The .26-acre site will be rezoned from central commercial to planned development – downtown. Teresa Lepe, chief of the county’s building design branch, said the current station is one of the oldest in the county’s system, constructed in 1950. She said call volumes at the station have increased in the last 20 years and will continue to do so. The current 8,000-square-foot building will be demolished and replaced with a 15,000-square-foot building, which will include underground parking, three bays which will hold four …

For years Fairfax County has debated where to move Herndon's central fire station on Spring Street, but after looking at more than 30 alternate locations the decision was made to rebuild on the same site. According to the Fairfax Times, the county will tear down and rebuild Station No. 4, located at 680 Spring St., and the project will cost $11 million. The funding for the project was approved by voters in a bond referendum last November. The station is the county's oldest existing fire station. County officials said the station is outdated, too small for equipment such as ladder trucks, and doesn't have separate living quarters for the male and female firefighters. Construction on the project is expected to begin in the spring of 2013…
