Medic 402 (M402)

The electrical system features the Weldon Technologies V-MUX multiplexing system. Emergency warning
devices include a Whelen LED lighting package, Grover air horns, and a EQ2B siren. The cabinet package
incorporated a cutback street side wall as well as a cutback squad bench for more room for the medics
to work on the patient.

It is staffed 24/7 by 2 career paramedics from the Fairfax County Fire and Rescue Department.
Volunteers provide supplemental staffing on Medic 402, acting as an extra set of hands to assist with
the patient or driving to and from the scenes of emergencies.
