I would like to thank the Oxon Hill Fire departments (Arlington, Fairfax, Alexandria, Navel…read moreDistrict, Andrews?). I want to say thank you to all that helped put out the fire in the Oxon Hill Village Apartments on January 1, 2021@ around 830 pm. It is a good thing that you are taught at an early age to devise an escape plan in case of fire, things like feeling the door before opening, or what exit to use. That night I got out alive using those helpful life-saving steps. Within minutes I had to remember to stay calm, move swiftly but carefully. I was falling asleep in my recliner when a neighbor shouted fire get out! the command sounds simple, but it is a hard one when black smoke comes into your main escape route and your two other exits are covered in smoke and what I can only assume are pieces of my neighbor's upstairs apartment. I was falling asleep when I heard get out!, when I ran away from the black smoke at the front door I ran to my bedroom and I thank God to this day I had been procrastinating about taking my sleep medication. When I ran to my bedroom when I think back on it my bedroom looked foggy because of smoke, had I taken my medicine I never would have woken up! I am thankful every morning that I wake up! thankful? that none of my family were there. I can't even tell you how long it took to get out, but when I finally got out I got in my car, and when I was pulling out of my parking space the fire department came rolling in. It is my belief that because of The Oxon Hill Fire Departments' swift action and the Oxon Hill Village Maintenance team, the row of apartments did not blow up, it is my Firm belief life would have been lost rather than the displacement of Sixty-Five people. I took hours to put the fire out. I left our complex at about 12 am ? and those brave Men and Women were still working. When I called to get information to give to my insurance company the fire department. ent was much more helpful than the complex. My younger brother is a fireman, so I know the hours are long and have always known the job is dangerous, but how you are treated after the fire also matters. So I really want them to know that the departments of fire and ems are so appreciated. I am rather embarrassed that it has taken so long for this review, but not one day goes by that I don't think about that night. Until next Yelp, Vj

A lovely little local library branch! Conveniently located in Virginia Highlands Park, there is a…read morefree parking lot right outside. Also, this library is right by a fenced in playground and a sprayground that is super fun in the summer. A one stop shop! There is a kids section here with some toys for the kids to play and plenty of books. Also, they have crayons and paper available and several kid size tables and even a tiny couch- very cute. There is one designated kids computer as well with headphones! Ms. Karen does the children's programming and hosts a great story time on Thursday mornings from 10:30-11. If you have a little one you should check it out! Stories and songs for kids. Best for the preschool and under crowd. The librarians here are all kind and very helpful. Stop by the front desk for a stamp on your kid's hand! Don't forget about summer reading too. There is a bathroom located in the lobby as well as a vending machine. Highly recommend you check out the Aurora Hills Library if you are in town!

This library closed in March 2020 and never reopened. As of January 2021, there's still been no…read morepublic discussion of reopening it in the future, and the county library system hasn't responded to any of the people in the the local community about when or whether it might reopen someday. The only emails we've received from the county library director have been about her favorite Christmas songs and her pet political causes, so she doesn't seem to know or care that people in the community want access to books. The hours for this closed location should be removed because anyone showing up and expecting to use a library will be disappointed. It's just an abandoned building where the county keeps a large container to drop off glass for recycling. (Arlington discontinued curbside recycling pickup of glass in April 2019, so the abandoned library is being used as one of the dropoff sites. Recyclable glass of any color can be dropped off 24/7 in the dumpster-sized bin.)
