DUMFRIES — Need to pay your town taxes? What about getting a new license plate for your car?
You can do that now a new Dumfries DMV Select customer service center that opened on Monday, August 19 in Dumfries. The center is located on the first floor of the town hall building, at 17739 Main Street. It’s a one-stop-shop for all things customer service, said Town Manager Keith Rogers.
In recent weeks, firefighters in Prince William County have been called to a large number of brush fires.
“As the weather becomes warmer, mulch becomes drier due to temperature conditions and lack of rainfall, making mulch fires more prevalent. Mulch is a prime location for fires due to improper discarding of smoking materials, by pedestrians, in or near a mulch bed or from motor vehicles. According to the Virginia Fire Chiefs Association, Inc., mulch ignites, smolders, and produces an open flame, which can easily extend up and into a structure. Temperatures, produced by a mulch fire, are enough to ignite adjacent combustible wall finishes, especially vinyl siding, located on the exterior of the building.”
The body of 26-year-old Mortaza Hossain was recovered from the Potomac River.
Authorities found the body Tuesday morning after the Hossain was reported missing Sunday afternoon while boating near Douge Creek and Gunston Cove in Virginia.

Thank you! It sounds too simple to matter; however, it’s one of the best ways to recognize success if it’s genuine and timely. Often we point out the things that go wrong and rarely show gratitude for success.
