Riverview Firefighters

📞 PHONES DOWN 📞

UPDATE: sounds like our power will be out approximately until Monday so more than likely no phones until Monday as always call 911 if you have an emergency!

Due to storm damage, the Riverview Fire Department has lost power and is currently operating on generator power. As a result, our non-emergency phone lines are temporarily out of service.

🚨 If you have an emergency, call 911. Emergency calls are still being received and dispatched without interruption.

For non-emergency matters, we appreciate your patience while crews work to restore power and phone service. We will provide an update as soon as our phone lines are back in service.

Thank you for your understanding, and please use caution while traveling if you encounter downed trees, power lines, or other storm-related hazards.

🇺🇸 Happy Fourth of July from the Riverview Firefighters!

Today, we proudly celebrate 250 years of American independence and honor the courage, sacrifice, and spirit that have shaped our nation since 1776. As we gather with family, friends, and neighbors, we hope everyone has a safe, enjoyable, and memorable Independence Day.

As you celebrate, please remember a few important safety tips:
🎆 Leave fireworks to the professionals whenever possible. If you choose to use legal consumer fireworks, follow all local laws, keep a bucket of water or hose nearby, and never allow children to handle fireworks.
🔥 Keep grills well away from homes, decks, and anything that can catch fire.
🚗 If you’re traveling, buckle up, drive sober, and stay alert for increased traffic and pedestrians.
💧 Stay hydrated, take breaks from the heat, and check on your neighbors, especially older adults and those who may need assistance.

While you celebrate this historic milestone, the Riverview firefighters will continue serving our community 24 hours a day, ready to respond whenever we’re needed.

We wish you and your family a safe, happy, and memorable Fourth of July as we celebrate America’s 250th birthday! 🇺🇸🎆

🚒🔥 Today we had the pleasure of welcoming students from Forest Elementary to the Riverview Fire Department for a fire safety visit!

The students got to meet our firefighters, see the fire trucks up close, and learn important fire safety tips like what to do if they see smoke, how to call 911, and why smoke alarms are so important.

We love having the opportunity to connect with our community and help teach our youngest residents how to stay safe at home and at school.

A big thank you to the students, teachers, and staff from Forest Elementary for visiting us today—we hope everyone had as much fun as we did!

Stay safe, Riverview! 🚒❤️
