They deserve this rating because of their implementation of the good ol' boy system and their resistance to change and new ideas.

Fairfax is a good county to work for. Everyone is willing to help and teach you new things.

Advice for prospective applicants:

Just work hard and have fun. If you are looking to run fire you may catch some good fire once in awhile. You run more EMS.
