Round Hill, VA

The Round Hill Planning Commission is supporting a plan to allow more Main Street properties to be used for commercial enterprises. The idea was first floated by the Town Council after some prospective buyers asked the town staff about the ability to open offices or businesses in the homes. The town already designates a portion of Main Street north of the Loudoun Street intersection as being suitable for commercial uses. Under the recommendation by the Planning Commission, those polices would be extended to the High Street on the west side of the road and ending at the Town Office on the east side—adding 10 more properties.

A Sterling man is safe today because a smoke alarm warned him of a fire that heavily damaged his home and nearly took his life, Loudoun Fire-Rescue reported Wednesday morning. According to the report, at 3:40 p.m. on Monday, 911 callers reported a fire at a home on Thrush Court in Sterling. Loudoun Fire-Rescue units responded from Cascades, Sterling, Kincora, Ashburn, Moorefield stations and were joined by Fairfax County Fire and Rescue. Firefighters arriving on scene found a one story single-family house with fire showing from the front and rear. The single occupant had already evacuated and was outside the home. He was evaluated on scene by EMS crews due to minor injuries but declined treatment and transport to the hospital. He is staying locally with friends.

Smoke Alarm Credited with Saving Sterling Man’s Life

Franklin Antonio Carcamo Giron on Thursday pleaded guilty to the rape of a 12-year-old family member, at a court hearing that was delayed more than 20 years. The 45-year-old man was indicted in December 2001 on two counts of rape and was scheduled to enter a guilty plea the following month. However, he was released from jail on bond prior to his court date and fled the area. He remained missing for two decades.
