After 16 months and meetings and deliberation, career and volunteer firefighters and medics appear to have a found a new model for the system that is charged with providing emergency services for the county’s nearly half a million residents.
The Prince William County Fair is right around the corner, and we want to see who has the cutest baby in Prince William County.
