Fairfax County Proposed Budget Removes Clifton Ambulance - a letter from your Town Administrator
As you may know, the County’s advertised budget was released 2/18 and cut our only ambulance in Clifton. The Town Council sent a letter to Chairman McKay and has asked several HOAs and the restaurants to consider sending a letter to the Chairman as well. I'm hoping that the residents of Clifton will join us in fighting for our ambulance!
Next steps are public hearings April 22-24th. I and other members of the Town Council will speak at the hearing. We hope to also have CBA leadership and as many town residents as possible. Keep an eye out for information on sign ups as soon as that information becomes available.
May 13th is the final adoption of the budget.
Here are a few items you might consider in a letter to chairman McKay or in your public testimony:
1. Trends from 2020 - 2023 show a 24% increase in emergency service incidents in the Clifton (#416) zone.
2. Clifton’s stability as a community with little to no turnover in residents, leads to a faster aging population than residential areas with greater turnover. During the 2019 - 2023 period, cardiac arrest was the most significant medical situation with some 41 incidents. As you are aware, time to medical treatment is the critical factor in survival of this medical emergency.
3. Clifton’s location places a unique demand on the time-of-travel for emergency vehicles and survival rates drop precipitously to less than 5% if there is no experienced intervention within 10 minutes of an emergency onset. Paramedics provide critical medications, airway support (experienced CPR), and rapid hospital transport. Recognizing that 30% of all deaths are the result of sudden, unexpected emergency causes, timely First-Responder assistance is critical to their life-saving intervention in Clifton.
Calendar
Clifton has maintained the charm and feeling of a Norman Rockwell painting. The town has been around since the 1700's—initially as a plantation and earlier as Indian hunting grounds. The railroad started Clifton on its way to the town we know. The Civil War played an important part in the journey also. During the war Clifton was known as Devereux Station. In 1868 Devereux Station became known as Clifton Station. In 1869 a Post Office was established and the town started growing with stores, schools and a community feeling. On March 10, 1902 Clifton Station was established as a town by Charter from the General Assembly.
The small town of about 200, affectionately referred to as the “Brigadoon” of Virginia, has been favored by US Presidents (Ulysses S. Grant, Rutherford B. Hayes and Theodore Roosevelt.), First Ladies (Nancy Reagan), Supreme Court justices, Congressmen, Senators, and other notable Washington celebrities.
