June 30, 2026
 

As we celebrate our nation's 250th Independence Day, the members of the North Highlands Engine Co #1 would like to wish everyone a safe and happy Fourth of July.

We would also like to remind you if you're celebrating with fireworks please make safety your top priority and follow these simple rules.

β€’ Never allow children to handle or light fireworks.
β€’ Keep a bucket of water or a garden hose within reach.
β€’ Never relight a firework that doesn't ignite.
β€’ Light only one firework at a time and move away quickly.
β€’ Keep spectators at a safe distance.
β€’ Never use fireworks while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
β€’ The safest way to enjoy fireworks is by attending a professional display.

Remember, a few simple precautions can prevent serious injuries and fires. Help us keep our community safe so everyone can enjoy a fun and memorable Independence Day.
From all of us at the North Highlands Fire Department, have a safe, happy, and patriotic Fourth of July! πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈπŸš’
