DUMFRIES — Of the five road projects, totaling $355 million, that voters will have a say on this fall, the Van Buren Road extension wasn’t one of them.

The Prince William Board of County Supervisors in June axed the $70 million project, which would have extended Van Buren from its intersection with Route 234 near Dumfries, to Cardinal Drive.

Prince William

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.”
