Stay Off the Ice – Area Waters Are Unsafe
While frozen waterways might look inviting for winter fun, the Prince William County Fire & Rescue System strongly urges you to stay off the ice. In our area, ice rarely forms with the thickness or strength needed for safe activities, and its stability is often dangerously overestimated. Don’t take the risk—stay safe and avoid the ice!
Calling All Lifeguards!
Prince William Parks & Recreation is prepping for summer which means we’re looking for those amazing people who keep us safe at the pools — lifeguards. If you or someone you know is looking to be a lifeguard this summer at one of two waterparks or multiple community pools, sign-up for a swim test and interview, Monday, Feb. 5, from 5-6 p.m. We offer free training to get you certified, a flexible schedule and a summer of fun working at the pool!

Nobody enjoys tax season—the confusing laws, the endless calculations, and the dreaded final bill. While we can’t make taxes disappear, your local library can make the process a little easier!

Plus, they have helpful publications and resources to guide you every step of the way. Let Prince William Public Libraries help take some of the stress out of tax time!
