Great advice from Gaines County Sheriff’s Office. Be fire safe this Independence Day, Gaines County!

🎆 Have a safe and happy Fourth of July, Gaines County! 🇺🇸

As you celebrate with family and friends, remember that our deputies, dispatchers, firefighters, and EMS crews are working around the clock to keep our community safe.

If you have a true emergency, don't hesitate to call 911. That's what we're here for.

For non-emergency issues, such as general noise complaints or questions that don't require an immediate emergency response, please use our non-emergency number instead. Keeping 911 available for life-threatening emergencies helps us get help where it's needed as quickly as possible.

Thank you for doing your part to keep Gaines County safe. We hope everyone has a fun, safe, and memorable 4th of July! 🇺🇸🎇
