A message from James Wise, Battalion Chief

To our friends and neighbors in Ashburn: we’re glad you’re here. The Ashburn Department of Public Safety is here to help, whether it’s a fire, an emergency, or a question about keeping your family safe.

On the fire side, we train often so we’re ready, but we’d rather meet you at a school visit or a community event than on a bad day. Stop by the station anytime, say hello, and ask us anything. It’s a privilege to serve this community, and we’re always just a call away.

Joint training with Turner County

Our firefighters train with Turner County crews on live-fire exercises so they are ready when you call.

  • About ten firefighters in tan protective gear and breathing apparatus, most with their backs to the camera, stand on grass around a dumpster burning with bright flames and dark smoke. Light blue hoses curve across the lawn, with a rust-colored training tower built from stacked containers and bare trees behind them in low evening light. The back of one jacket reads TURNER COUNTY.

  • Two controlled fires in a grassy field in low light: a dumpster on the left and a van in the middle are both burning. Small groups of firefighters in tan protective gear hold blue hoses near each fire, with a utility pole on the left and red shipping containers and trees in the background.

Fire safety tips for your home

General, widely used home fire-safety advice.

  • Smoke alarms. General home-safety advice: have working alarms on every level and near sleeping areas, test them monthly and replace them when they get old.
  • Plan your escape. Know two ways out of every room and pick a meeting place outside. Practice it.
  • Cooking. Never leave the stove unattended while cooking. Keep things that can burn away from the burners.
  • Heating. Keep space heaters at least three feet from anything that can burn. Turn them off when you leave or sleep.
  • Electrical. Do not overload outlets or run cords under rugs. Replace damaged cords.
  • If there is a fire. Get out, stay out, and call 911 from outside.
