Teams of O.W.L. V.F.D members visited 55 homes Saturday, in the River Ridge community to test smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and change batteries. Residents were ready, with new batteries in hand and open doors to welcome the fire fighters. In all, they found and replaced 6 faulty smoke detectors.
Occoquan-Woodbridge-Lorton Volunteer Fire Department reminds residents that one easy step can help save their lives and the lives of those around them. Twice a year, (when clocks move forward or back,) change the batteries in their own smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors, test the alarms and remind friends, family, neighbors and fellow community members to do the same. (the fall date had to be rescheduled due to inclement weather.)

When it comes to the clipper system that is supposed to bring snow showers to our region Wednesday, how much snow accumulation we see – if any at all in Prince William and Stafford counties – all depends on the temperatures.
Snow showers are expected to develop about midday Wednesday bringing one to two inches of snow the region, but mainly to the northern Washington, D.C. suburbs in western Virginia and western Maryland. Our area could see less than an inch of accumulation, according to the National Weather Service.

Michael Cecere, a resident of Montclair, former board president for Historic Dumfries, VA, and a current American History teacher in Fairfax County and Northern Virginia Community College, has written his tenth book on the American Revolution.
The book, entitled, A Universal Appearance of War: The Revolutionary War in Virginia, 1775-1781, chronicles the war in Virginia from start to finish. Cecere sheds light, and recognition, on many overlooked Virginia engagements. Readers will discover that although the war started off modestly in Virginia, it concluded with a dramatic flourish that required bold action and some good fortune for the allies to succeed.
