It continues to be a busy day in Falmouth...

FFRD personnel responded to a report of a 40–50-year-old male swimmer in distress in the water off Heights Beach. Family and bystanders, including a healthcare professional, found the swimmer face down in the water and took action to move the swimmer to the shore. Lifeguard personnel also intervened and the group initiated medical care for the non-breathing patient including cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Falmouth Police Department personnel assisted with CPR and provided an Automatic External Defibrillator (AED) that was ultimately not needed. FFRD personnel arrived in an ambulance and medical chase vehicle to take over patient care. The patient was delivered to a local hospital with a pulse and was talking with paramedic personnel during transport.

As we get ready for a busy Independence Day Weekend, here are some important updates.
Stay Safe.

🌞 If you're just heading to the beach now... you might be a little late! 🏖️

As of this now, nearly every beach parking lot in Falmouth has reached capacity. If you're still planning to head out, please have a backup plan and expect heavy traffic throughout town.

With the July 4th holiday here, the Falmouth Police Department has increased staffing and patrols throughout town to help keep everyone safe. You'll see additional officers from Falmouth PD, the Massachusetts State Police, and the Barnstable County Sheriff's Office working together to address underage drinking, disorderly behavior, traffic issues, and other quality-of-life concerns throughout the holiday weekend.

🇺🇸 IMPORTANT FIREWORKS PARKING NOTICE 🇺🇸

To prepare for tomorrow night's fireworks celebration, ALL vehicles must be removed by 2:00 PM on July 4 from:

• Falmouth Heights Beach Parking Lot
• Falmouth Heights Ball Field Parking Area
• All street parking on Crescent Avenue

Vehicles remaining after 2:00 PM will be towed at the owner's expense. Additional parking restrictions and traffic changes will be in effect throughout the Heights area. Vehicle access into Falmouth Heights will be restricted beginning at 6:00 PM until spectators have safely left the area.

Handicap Parking Reminder: Bristol Beach will be the designated handicap parking area.

🌡️ Beat the Heat

Temperatures are expected to remain high throughout the holiday weekend. Please:
💧 Stay hydrated.
🧴 Wear sunscreen.
⛱️ Take breaks in the shade.
👵 Check on elderly family members and neighbors.
🐶 Never leave children or pets in a parked vehicle—even for a minute.

🚔 A Few Safety Reminders

🎆 Fireworks are illegal in Massachusetts—even sparklers and novelty fireworks. Leave the fireworks to the professionals.

🚗 If you're drinking, don't drive. Plan ahead and designate a sober driver or use a rideshare.

🍺 The Falmouth Fireworks celebration is a non-alcoholic event. Open containers of alcohol are prohibited, and all alcohol laws will be enforced. Public consumption of ma*****na is also prohibited.

🚦 Be patient in traffic. With thousands of visitors in town, delays are expected. Our officers will be working hard to keep traffic moving as safely and efficiently as possible.

🚶 Watch for pedestrians and cyclists, especially around beaches, Main Street, and Falmouth Heights.

Most importantly, look out for one another. We want everyone to enjoy a safe, memorable Independence Day weekend and make it home safely.

Happy Fourth of July from all of us at the Falmouth Police Department! 🇺🇸
