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!

🔥Fremont firefighters responded to a working vegetation fire in the area of Niles Blvd and Linda Drive, along the railroad tracks.

A quick fire attack stopped forward progress of the fire and prevented spread to nearby homes. The size of the fire is estimated at 1/4 of an acre.

During California’s fire season, even small vegetation fires can spread fast and threaten structures. Stay alert, and report smoke/fire immediately to help keep Fremont safe 🚒.

Fremont Fire Department had the opportunity to be present for the delivery of a brass plaque commemorating the opening of the firehouse at 190 Anza Street. It was the original Fire Station 4 when the City of Fremont was incorporated in 1956. The station would eventually move to 1000 Pine Street in 1994. Engine 54 crew members were on hand to deliver the plaque.

The plaque has been donated to Mrs. Patty Lacy and Washington Township Museum. Mrs. Lacy is the goddaughter to the late Fire Chief Jack Pereira who was the last volunteer Fire Chief for Mission San Jose volunteers before the city incorporated. Chief Pereira was also the current Fire Chief when the Anza station opened its doors in 1954.

These members that the exhibit is being built for act as a great reminder to all of us of the work that was done to get this City and Fire Department to where it is today. The exhibit they are creating has original Mission San Jose Fire badges, as well as pictures from the same time frame, and now this plaque recognizing Chief Pereira and his legacy.

On April 28, 2026, Engine 57 responded to a medical emergency involving an adult female patient who was found to be in cardiac arrest and not breathing. During this incident, our crew performed with professionalism, urgency, and exceptional clinical skill. Crew members demonstrated expert deployment of advanced life-saving interventions, including airway management, defibrillation, and medication administration.

These calls are stressful, requiring coordinated teamwork and decisive patient care. Our crew rose to the occasion, successfully resuscitating the patient. The 48-year old patient was later released from the hospital, an outcome that directly reflects the importance and quality of the care provided on scene.

Engine 57 crew members were given a Letter of Commendation in recognition of their life-saving action, professional skill, and commitment to service. Job well done!

In partnership with Alameda County Office of Emergency Services and local cities throughout Alameda County, Fremont Office of Emergency Services will conduct a regional Alert and Warning Exercise on May 12, 2026.

Over the past several months, Alameda County and partner jurisdictions have worked together to update emergency notification procedures, improve message templates, integrate current technologies, and incorporate lessons learned and best practices from recent disasters throughout California and the nation.

This collaborative exercise will allow emergency personnel and authorized message senders to rehearse the use of emergency notification systems and strengthen coordination between local agencies before the upcoming summer and fire season. Residents may also receive additional preparedness messaging from their local city or agency as part of this coordinated effort.

Preparedness is a shared responsibility. As local governments continue to strengthen emergency readiness capabilities, residents are encouraged to take time to prepare themselves and their families for emergencies by:

- Making an emergency plan
- Building or updating an emergency supply kit
- Reviewing evacuation routes and emergency contacts
- Going to ACAlert.org to sign up for emergency notifications

Thank you for helping Alameda County build a more prepared and resilient community.

Emergency response is a relay race, and we couldn't ask for better partners at the finish line. To the nurses who take over with grace and expertise: Thank you for all you do! 🩺🩵
