DOTHAN, Ala. (WDNews) — As Independence Day celebrations get underway, the City of Dothan/Houston County Communications District is reminding residents to use good judgment when calling 911 during the holiday weekend.
According to the communications district, 911 should be used for emergencies such as a house fire or other situations where lives or property are in immediate danger. The agency also shared a lighthearted graphic joking that calls about hearing fireworks, a frightened pet, or fireworks disrupting a baby’s sleep are not appropriate reasons to call 911.
The post encourages residents to keep emergency lines available for people who need immediate assistance while practicing fireworks safety throughout the holiday.
And to end on a humorous note, the communications district also shared another reminder: “Some of y’all got no idea it’s your last weekend with ten fingers. Just sayin’.”
