🇺🇸 Happy Fourth of July from Fredericksburg Fire/EMS! 🇺🇸

As you celebrate Independence Day with family and friends, we encourage everyone to have a safe and enjoyable holiday weekend.

Please remember:

🔥 Fireworks are prohibited within Fredericksburg city limits.

🌾 Residents throughout the county should use extreme caution. We have responded to an uptick in grass fires over the past week due to dry vegetation and windy conditions.

📞 If you see smoke or suspect a fire, call 9-1-1 immediately. Early reporting can help firefighters respond quickly and prevent a small fire from becoming a major incident.

Have a safe and happy Independence Day!
