From Occoquan Woodbridge Lorton Volunteer Fire Department:
Woodbridge, VA December 9th, 6:00 a.m. – Occoquan-Woodbridge-Lorton Volunteer Firefighters responded to the report of a two story commercial structure fire at 14339 Jefferson Davis Hwy in Woodbridge. Crews arrived within minutes and reported smoke showing from the roof.

Hundreds packed the annual Santa Trains on the Virginia Railway Express.
Work is underway to add new E-ZPass Express Lanes to Interstate 66 Outside the Beltway, from Gainesville in Prince William County to Dunn Loring in Fairfax County.
From a press release:
The Stafford County Sheriff’s Office has taken into custody an armed suicidal subject who was located in the Walmart parking lot on Garrisonville Road early on Friday morning.
From a press release:
Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) crews have staged equipment and materials across the 14-county Fredericksburg District to quickly respond to any slick or hazardous road conditions that could develop due to anticipated snowfall and freezing rain tonight and Saturday.
If the new tolls on Interstate 66 inside the Capital Beltway are designed to push drivers out of their cars and on to transit, it doesn’t appear to be working.
On Thursday, we asked Metro if it has noticed a spike in ridership on the Orange and Silver lines, which serve Loudoun and Fairfax counties. Surely if drivers were going to ditch their trips on the Dulles Toll Road or I-66, Metro would be a prime option, right?
Winter Weather Advisory has been issued for tonight and Saturday for the area shaded below, where the confidence of 2-4″ of snow is the highest. Today will be fine, with snow starting after the PM commute. As the picture becomes clearer, the Advisory area may change. Stay tuned! pic.twitter.com/0AGvBVYT7O

WOODBRIDGE — An anonymous letter that surfaced less than a week ago has now prompted a two-month investigation into allegations of systemic discrimination at OmniRide.
Chairman of the Potomac and Rappahannock Transportation Commission Frank Principi, the group that oversees OmniRide and OmniLink commuter buses, said he would engage the Prince William County Government’s equal opportunity employment office, all in an effort to bring in a third-party to investigate the claims.
