As the new year rolls in, so too does the familiar call for safety from local fire departments. The Huntersville Fire Department, stepping into its traditional role of guardian, took to social media with a message for the community. "Happy New Year from the men and women of Huntersville Fire!" they shared on their official Facebook page. "Please be safe tonight," the post read.
It's not just the threat of DUIs that concerns the department, but also the less often considered consequences of holiday revelry. "Additionally, be very careful if considering using fire works and firing off firearms at midnight," the Huntersville Fire Department advised. They reminded revelers that actions have consequences, sometimes gravity-bound ones: "Remember - what goes up, comes right back down." With the use of hashtags like #BeSafe #BeResponsible, the department's post on Facebook underscores the department's emphasis on collective responsibility and teamwork—values at the core of their message and mission.
