When Should You Call 911 on the 4th of July? 🇺🇸

Before the 4th of July festivities commence, we’d like to share a lighthearted and humorous reminder of when to call 911. 😉

Before you dial, ask yourself: is it a real emergency?

✅ YES – Call 911 if:
• Fireworks caused a fire
• Someone is injured or in danger
• Property is being damaged
• Your dog stole your car (…seriously)

🚫 NO – Don’t call 911 for:
• Fireworks being too loud
• Your dog is scared (try a thunder vest!)
• Neighbors singing off-key
• People just being annoying

📞 Save 911 for real emergencies.
For non-emergencies, call 706-468-4930.

👉🏼 Reminder: Gunshots don’t sizzle at the end.

‼️DO NOT celebrate by firing weapons into the air. Those rounds have to come back down somewhere!

And…..if Mr. Fluffers steals your car…get it on video! 🤣
