Ward Six Fire Department urges everyone to take extreme caution during hot weather

Stay hydrated, remain in cool or air-conditioned places, and avoid strenuous activity during peak heat.

Know the warning signs of heat exhaustion—heavy sweating, dizziness, nausea, weakness, and cool, clammy skin. Heat stroke is a medical emergency and may include confusion, loss of consciousness, hot dry skin, and a very high body temperature.

If you suspect heat stroke, call 9-1-1 immediately and begin cooling the person while waiting for emergency assistance.

Stay cool. Stay hydrated. Stay safe.

Also, just a reminder we are under a BURN BAN at this time.
