2 additional Va. DMV locations reopen

Virginia is continuing to open motor vehicle departments by appointment only.

Another two locations are taking appointments starting Aug. 31. The offices are at Fair Oaks Mall in Fairfax County and in Sterling in Loudoun County.

Hours are 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. from Monday through Friday and from 8 a.m. to noon on Saturdays.

Appointments are required for specific services that generally require in-person service, such as knowledge and behind-the-wheel tests.

Customers should use alternate service methods, such as online or by mail, when possible. Here is a list of services you can do without having to go to a DMV location.

DMV locations opened in phases throughout the summer. An office can only reopen once it has been prepared to provide adequate social distancing and clear plastic partitions have been installed on front counters creating separation between customers and employees, according to the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicle’s website.

Fairfax County firefighters come home after assisting Colombia earthquake victims

Ten Fairfax County firefighters who are part of Virginia Task Force 1 returned late Thursday from helping coordinate a rescue effort after the devastating earthquake in Colombia. Family members greeted the team as they arrived in Chantilly Thursday night. A young girl held a sign that read "Welcome Home Daddy." For Andy Kassavetis, this was his first mission with Task Force 1, and seeing the devastation in Colombia put some things into perspective for him. He said he saw firsthand "how impactful an event can be on a community. It makes you think about, you know, really when you come home sharing the love with the people around you and letting them know you’re there with them, because things can change really quickly.”
