Philomont Fire and Rescue Station Replacement

As part of the Philomont Fire Station replacement project, Loudoun County Fire and Rescue will provide the community with an opportunity to take a guided tour of the newly constructed Lucketts Fire and Rescue Station #10. This award winning station exemplifies a state of the art facility that meets the needs of first responders while blending with the rural aesthetic of the community. 

The event will take place on Saturday, December 9, 2023, from 9:30 a.m. – 11:30 a.m., at 42429 Lucketts Road, Leesburg. 

Loudoun County Fire and Rescue will be providing transportation to and from the Lucketts Fire and Rescue Station from the current Philomont Fire and Rescue Station, located at 36560 Philomont Road, in Purcellville. The bus will leave at 9:00 a.m.

About the Project

This project will construct a new 18,500-square-foot fire and rescue facility on Snickersville Turnpike in the Village of Philomont to replace the existing Philomont Volunteer Fire and Rescue Company #8 Station. The new facility is anticipated to include apparatus bays, bunkroom facilities, a training/break room, restrooms, showers, food preparation and dining areas, laundry and decontamination areas, supply storage, and a gear and hose drying area. It will also include a breathing apparatus air compressor room, a fitness room, offices, and a repair shop.

This project is currently estimated to be completed in 2027.
