WOODBRIDGE, Va. — Just because there wasn’t any action on the baseball field today that doesn’t mean things weren’t hot at Pfitzner Stadium.

They evacuated the building, and no sooner did they get outside did they see flames shooting from windows, said Potomac Nationals General Manager Josh Olerud.

UPDATE
A strange smoke smell that permeated the air this morning comes at the same time firefighters in the Shenandoah Valley are battling a large mountain blaze.
PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY, Va. — The “Too Good to Waste Place” has been scrapped – at least for now.
The Prince William County Landfill announced the temporary closure of the donation center on its campus that’s been in operation since 1991. The “Too Good to Waste Place” has been credited with reducing the amount of trash that has ended up in the landfill, as residents instead have chosen to leave, or donate, still-usable items like couches, bicycles, and lawnmowers at the site. Once left, other residents who visit the landfill can simply take what’s left behind.
