FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS - Routes for June 26 (4 - 6 pm)

For Spanish click here



What makes Montgomery County great is its community! We'll be mobilizing an important message during this week's Friday Night Lights to remind all our friends to please complete their 2020 Census. It takes less than 5 minutes and will have tremendous impact on funding for Montgomery County (and public safety) for the next DECADE! Can we count you in?

FRIENDLY REMINDER: While our crews are excited to see everyone, their first and foremost job is responding to emergencies. Because of this, we would ask that you please be understanding as firefighter crews may need to alter, delay or cancel their routes.

How do I find out if MCFRS will be visiting my neighborhood this week?

Below please find a listing of the communities and streets that we plan to visit on June 26th.  Find your color-coded "Battalion" on the map and check out the list below.


Please Note:We will not be able to drive through every Montgomery County neighborhood or down every street, but will do our best to make it to as many areas as possible. MCFRS crews will remain in service to respond to emergencies, so may get pulled away to respond to calls. Please be alert to this. Thank you for adhering to social distancing guidelines and do not approach the fire trucks or equipment as they drive by. We can’t wait to see you … from 6 feet away. Please be sure to check your smoke alarms and there’s never been a better (or more important) time to have a home fire drill!
