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 homicide 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 (US&R) Teams following the terrorist attack on the Pentagon on September 11, 2001.
