Summary
Sacramento Metro Fire is bracing for its busiest day of the year as the Fourth of July hits on a Saturday—anticipating over a thousand 911 calls just Saturday night, fueled by fireworks, house fires, vegetation blazes, and medical emergencies. Dispatchers, calling it their career highlight, are on long, grueling shifts with no breaks, while drones patrol for illegal fireworks—now carrying fines up to $10,000 per firework. The department is also urgently hiring more dispatchers to handle the surge.
