4th of July Fireworks - Fire & Rescue Advises Extreme Caution
Recommend Seeking Professional Displays
Fourth of July is one of America’s most celebrated festive holidays. This year, Americans will celebrate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, giving cause for many to celebrate more vigorously than usual by discharging or using fireworks throughout the day.
Rarely do we consider fireworks harmful, much less deadly; yet fireworks are one of the biggest fire dangers to life and property. Each year, thousands of fireworks-related injuries are treated in hospital emergency departments throughout the United States. According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, in 2025, there were 15 reported fireworks-related deaths and 13,000 injured who sought hospital emergency treatment, compared to 2024, with 11 reported deaths and 14,700 fireworks-related injuries.
Although Prince William County permits the use of some fireworks, restrictions apply, and for good reasons. No matter how breathtaking fireworks are or how easy they appear to use, they are potential fire starters.
The Prince William County Fire and Rescue System (System) urges residents to leave fireworks to the professionals by enjoying one of the many larger aerial fireworks demonstrations/shows in the District, Maryland, and Virginia.

However, should you choose to purchase fireworks, the Fire Marshal’s Office recommends purchasing from fireworks stands within the county all of which have been permitted to sell approved fireworks. To view the list of 2026 permissible fireworks and approved fireworks stands in Prince William County, visit pwcva.gov/department/fire-marshals-office/permissible-fireworks.
To assist residents in preparation for the Fourth of July and additional festivities held throughout the summer, the Fire Marshal’s Office suggests the following fireworks safety tips:
• Fireworks should only be used and ignited by an adult.
• Fireworks should only be used outdoors in an open space clear of spectators, buildings, vehicles, debris, and combustible materials, or on a driveway or a sidewalk.
• Fires are caused by careless handling of fireworks in areas exposed to sparks or live fireworks and improper disposal.
• NEVER dispose of fireworks in a garage or building.
• Soak spent or “dud” fireworks and sparklers in a large bucket of water for at least 20 minutes or overnight to ensure they are thoroughly cooled and extinguished.
• Keep spectators a safe distance away from fireworks at a minimum of 25 feet.

American Flag Collection Center at Solid Waste Facilities
Inspect your flag, replace if needed, and retire it with respect

Prince William, VA, May 18, 2026— Many of our summer holidays use the American flag as a symbol of honor, pride, and patriotic decoration. While we honor our military personnel who died in the line of duty on Memorial Day, May 25, and we celebrate our country’s independence on July 4, right in between is Flag Day. June 14 is Flag Day—a time to recognize the history and significance of the “Stars and Stripes” and to reflect on the respect it deserves.

Flag Day commemorates the adoption of the “Stars and Stripes” as the official flag of the United States. “It is also a good time of year to make Prince William County residents aware of the flag collection and retirement program available at the County Landfill and Compost Facility,” Deborah Campbell, Solid Waste Division Communications Analyst.

Residents can bring old, faded, or tattered American flags to the Prince William County Landfill or the Compost Facility during regular hours of operation. Collected flags are appropriately retired by local Scout groups in a traditional ceremony, or a private one at the Covanta waste-to-energy facility in Fairfax.

According to the U.S. Flag Code -Respect for Flag states, “The flag, when it is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning.”

On Flag Day and other flag waving holidays, residents and business owners are encouraged to inspect the flag they have on display outside their home or establishment. If the American Flag is faded, torn, tattered, or frayed, it should be replaced. Drop off the old one at the county’s American Flag Collection Center at the Prince William County Landfill or the Compost Facility. Both facilities are open Monday-Wednesday and Friday-Sunday from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Thursday 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.

National Window Safety Week
April 5 – 11, 2026
Chief Thomas LaBelle
PRESS RELEASE

Spring has arrived and as the weather becomes warmer, households will turn off their home heating equipment and begin inserting window screens to enjoy the cool spring breeze that a screen provides. While screens for some may be comforting, for others they are dangerous even deadly especially for small children. Screens are to keep bugs out, not kids in.

Each year, approximately 8 children die and 3,300 are injured by window falls. Children under the age of 5 are at the highest risk for such falls due to their inability to recognize the danger that exists when playing near a screened window. Their curiosity and focus lie elsewhere, such as a toy, a pet or any number of things can result in an unintentional injury or death.

Although the majority of children that fall from windows reside in urban areas, falls occur from the first or second-story window in homes or apartments, and not in high-rise buildings as previously believed.

National Window Safety Week is April 5th – 11th; the Prince William County Fire & Rescue System urges the public to get involved, year-round, at home, school and neighborhoods to help reduce unintentional injuries among children by understanding the role of windows.

Windows are two-fold; while vital in escaping a home fire or other emergencies, it’s vital for parents and guardians to understand how to best protect their children against accidental window falls. Listed below are window safety tips to keep your little ones safe:

Window Safety Tips
• Keep children away from open windows.
• If you have windows that can open from both top and bottom, make a habit of opening just the top.
• Keep windows locked and closed when they are not being used.
• Install window guards or window stop devices that prevent windows from opening more than 4 inches (educate family members, older children and adults, on how to release window guards in the event of a fire or other emergency that requires evacuation). -more-

• Keep climbable objects, i.e. furniture, beds, toy chests, etc., away from windows.
• DO NOT place toys and other inviting objects on windowsills.
• Check to make sure porch and balcony railings are spaced 4” apart or less.
• Always provide adult supervision for children around open windows or in risky environments. It’s important to remember that windows can play a critical role in fire safety and should be included as a potential secondary exit when developing a home fire escape plan, At the same time, open or unsecured windows can pose a serious risk to young children. The Prince William County Fire & Rescue System urges families to take proactive steps to properly secure windows and help ensure their children’s safety.

Daylight Saving Time Begins
Change Your Clock, Change Your Smoke Alarm Battery

Daylight Saving Time begins Sunday, March 8th. As you turn your clocks forward, the Prince William County Fire and Rescue System would like to remind residents to change the battery in your smoke alarms. When properly installed and maintained, working smoke alarms save lives and protect against injury and loss due to fire. They play a vital role in one's home fire escape plan by providing an early warning, allowing individuals time to escape a home fire. You double your chances of surviving a home fire with working smoke alarms compared to homes without working smoke alarms.

To keep you and your family safe follow these life-saving smoke alarm tips:

• Close your bedroom door before going to sleep at night. A closed door may slow the spread of heat and fire. "Close Before You Doze!"
• Place a smoke alarm on every level of your home, including the basement, in every bedroom and outside each sleeping area.
• Test smoke alarms monthly by pushing the test button. If you cannot reach the button easily, use a broom handle.
• When a smoke alarm sounds, get outside, and stay outside.
• DO NOT remove the batteries from your smoke alarms to put in other appliances.
• Replace all smoke alarms in your home every 1O years or sooner if they don't respond when testing:
o For smoke alarms with a non-replaceable battery, replace the entire smoke alarm if it begins chirping.
o For smoke alarms with regular batteries, replace the batteries once a year when you change your clocks (fall back, spring forward), or before if the battery starts to chirp.
• Smoke alarms should be inter-connected, so when one alarm sounds, they all do.
