The Victoria County Sheriff's Department recently put a comedic spin on when to call 911 during 4th of July weekend. The main reason for the post is to keep 911 lines clear for real emergencies, not minor inconveniences while celebrating the Fourth of July.  Basically, don't be a Karen, well, that is the way that we interpreted. Everything on the Do Not Call reasons is served with a side of comedic sarcasm.

Do not call 911 for these instances. 

You shouldn't call 911 if your dog is mad about fireworks. If your pet suffers from anxiety due to the loud noise, make plans now to keep them calm and safe. For comedic relief, they also added to the list: Your neighbors are having more fun than you, don't call 911. See the full list by clicking here.

Something is on fire that shouldn’t be. They also added, there’s an injury that’s not fixable with a Band-Aid and a Gatorade.  For comedic relief, they added, if you see or you are in actual danger, not just Uncle Larry lighting fireworks with a lighter and making bad decisions.

 Safety tips for fireworks:

The Victoria County Sheriff's Department also posted safety tips for properly popping fireworks. The video was posted to TikTok via astroboothrentals
