MANASSAS, Va. — Fire crews were called to a recycling facility on Notes Drive near Manassas early this morning.

They found a blaze in one of the processing units off of Balls Ford Road about 3:45 a.m. It took about an hour for crews do douse the fire because crews had limited access to interior portions of the processing facility, said Prince William fire and rescue spokeswoman Kim Hylander.


Now, instead of just telling people about what’s happening in the town, Occoquan’s mayor will actually bring people there.
