With near-record temperatures and little rainfall forecasted for the next week, consider limiting work outside if possible. Here is a chart of signs and symptoms of heat-related emergencies in case you overdo it. EMS crews will respond to your emergency but we'd rather not meet that way.
While there is CURRENTLY not a burn ban in place for our municipalities, please avoid open burning. The hot, dry weather ensures any fire that gets out of control will spread rapidly to surrounding materials and extend well beyond the items you meant to burn. Independence Day is just around the corner and it's likely these conditions will continue through the holiday. It would be a good year to leave the fireworks to the professionals at supervised events. Smokey Bear says it best- ONLY YOU can help us by preventing these damaging incidents.
