## Resource

Independence Day in D.C. turned into an emergency epicenter as fireworks lit up the National Mall—and emergency crews responded to over 500 calls in just one hour, with nearly 900 incidents citywide and 260 patient transports. Medical teams from GWU and HHS joined forces, handling hundreds of contacts as police made over a dozen arrests for illegal fireworks. Despite a midday evacuation due to severe weather, President Trump still delivered his speech before the finale, proving that even chaos can’t stop the show.
