We would like to remind residents that ALL fireworks are banned in the City of Fremont. Fremont’s public safety departments would like to remind Fremont residents, businesses, and visitors that the sale, possession, and use of all fireworks are banned within the city of Fremont. This ban includes the “safe and sane” variety of fireworks that are legal in some other cities. The ban, in effect since December 1986, has helped reduce the number of injuries, wildland fires, and structure fires caused by fireworks in the City of Fremont.
Fire and Police resources will be on patrol in Fremont during the peak times of concern to maintain an active vigilance against wildland fires along our hillside and fireworks use. In California, possession of illegal fireworks is considered a misdemeanor, which is punishable by a fine, or by imprisonment in a county jail for up to one year. If you are found to be in possession of a sufficient amount of illegal fireworks, you may be guilty of a felony and punished by a fine and/or imprisonment in a state prison or county jail. Penalties for the possession and/or use of illegal fireworks range from $1,000 to $50,000. Parents may be held liable for any damages or injuries caused by their children’s use of illegal fireworks.
Fremont Police and Fire are anticipating a high call volume during the Fourth of July holiday season. We ask that community members help do their part to keep our city safe and only dial 9-1-1 during a true or potential emergency. To report non-emergency illegal firework use, call the Fremont Police Department Dispatch Center at 510-790-6800 x3. Please be prepared to provide dispatchers with details, such as the specific location, description of involved persons, and any immediate danger to areas with dry brush and vegetation susceptible to fire. All firework calls will be prioritized with other pending calls for service.
From 4:00 p.m. on July 4 to 2:00 a.m. on July 5, community members are encouraged to report illegal firework activities via the Fremont App. Additional police resources will be monitoring and relaying information to field personnel. Complaints with specific details such as an address, and description of those involved will receive higher priority. For details on how to download the app, please visit: fremontpolice.gov/fireworks
Please be very alert during the Fourth of July holiday season and throughout the summer months with all outdoor activities, and when in or around dry vegetation. The combination of dry grass, low relative humidity, warm temperatures, and strong winds can quickly contribute to extreme fire behavior.
Have a Happy and Safe 4th of July!

🔋 Batteries are in high demand and used quite often during the holidays. Many children's toys and gadgets require batteries and if they are not used correctly, they have the potential to catch on fire or explode. Here are some battery safety guidelines to reference during the busy holiday season.

Did you know that U.S. fire departments responded to an estimated average of 832 home structure fires per year that began with decorations, excluding Christmas trees?
Here are some tips for staying safer during the holiday season:
✅ Ensure that decorative Christmas tree lights are in good working order and used in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, keeping in mind that some lights are designed for indoor or outdoor use only.
✅ Make sure the tree is not blocking an exit.
✅ When purchasing new lights, make sure they bear the mark of an independent, qualified testing laboratory, which ensures that the product has been tested to meet established safety standards.

On the evening of December 3rd, around 5:30 PM, Fremont Firefighters responded to a call about a car that crashed into an apartment building in the Brookvale area.
When crews arrived, they found a vehicle had hit an apartment unit, causing structural damage. Firefighters immediately went to work—checking for injuries, making sure no one was trapped, shutting off utilities, evacuating nearby units, and assessing the building’s safety.
Thankfully, there were no injuries. Fremont Fire's Special Operations Task Force (SOTF) stepped in to stabilize the damaged structure and prevent further issues.
In total, three apartments were impacted. Five adults, one child, and one cat were displaced, but everyone is safe.
👏 Great teamwork by all involved!
