Celebrate the 4th Safely

Each July 4th, many Americans, most often children and teens, are injured and sometimes even killed while using consumer fireworks. Even sparklers, if misused, can cause serious injuries. Hanover Fire-EMS urges people not to use consumer fireworks because they are too dangerous. Instead, go to a public show put on by experts.

County offices and facilities closed on Thursday

Hanover County government offices, solid waste centers and libraries will be closed on Thursday, July 4, in observance of Independence Day.
