Stay Cool and Be Safe in the Heat!
As temperatures rise, it’s very important to protect yourself from heat-related illnesses. Here are some safety tips:
1. Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout the day, even if you don’t feel thirsty.
2. Dress Appropriately: Wear lightweight, loose-fitting clothing in light colors to help keep your body cool.
3. Limit Outdoor Activities: If possible, avoid strenuous activities during the hottest parts of the day (usually 10 AM to 4 PM).
4. Know the Signs:
– Heat Exhaustion: Look out for heavy sweating, weakness, dizziness, nausea, and headache. If you experience these, move to a cooler place, lie down, and hydrate.
– Heat Stroke: This is more severe. Symptoms may include a high body temperature (above 103°F), altered mental state, rapid heartbeat, and hot, dry skin. If you suspect heat stroke, seek emergency help immediately!
5. Use Fans and Air Conditioning: Stay in air-conditioned spaces whenever possible. If you don’t have AC, consider visiting community centers or public places.
6. Check on Others: Keep an eye on friends, family, and neighbors, particularly the elderly and those with pre-existing health conditions.
By staying informed and prepared, you can enjoy the summer safely. Stay cool and take care!

Thank you Manning Early Childhood Center – CCSD for allowing our members to participate in the Summer Spark Camp today! We had a wonderful time showcasing some of our equipment, like the stair chair and the stretcher, while learning about different types of emergencies. Our members were even able to demonstrate the power lift stretcher, thanks to Deputy Vincent!
Thank you to our medical crew today! 🚓
