Apparatus
| Engine 103 |
2006 E-One Cyclone II
Engine 103 serves as the frontline pumper with a 1,250 gallon per minute pump, 750 gallon water tank, and 60 gallon foam tank. This unit was purchased and is owned by Arlington County. The unit is staffed 24/7/365 by four career firefighters who may be augmented by Cherrydale volunteers. In addition to its complement of firefighting equipment, the unit carries basic and advanced life support equipment. Because of space constraints, this is the only fire apparatus stationed at the Cherrydale firehouse.

| Light and Air 103 |
1988 Ford/Hackney
Light and Air 103 provides emergency support services of lighting and airpak replenishment at fire incidents. This unit also assists the Arlington County Police Department by illuminating major accident and homocide investigation scenes, as well as nighttime DWI checkpoints. Staffing for Light & Air 103 is provided by volunteer members on a call-back basis. Due to the small size of the Cherrydale station, Light & Air 103 is kept at Fire Sation 6 in Falls Church.
Light and Air 103 spent over one week operating in support of FEMA Urban Search and Rescue Teams following the attack on the Pentagon on 9/11/2001.
