The SVFC, along with representatives from Sterling Rescue, Loudoun County Fire & Rescue, the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors, and the developers of the Kincora project, officially broke ground for the new Kincora Fire-Rescue Station. The new station, to be located to the northwest of the Route 28/Nokes Boulevard interchange, will house units and personnel from SVFC, SVRS, and LCFR. The station will cover the area round Dulles Town Center mall, all the new construction in the Kincora project (including the planned baseball stadium, home of the Loudoun Hounds). After the completion of the Pacific Boulevard and Nokes/Glouchester extensions the station will also cover areas in Ashburn around Redskins Park. Site work has been underway for some time and now the building construction is set to begin. The facility is expected to open in 2013.
