Drink water, Drink water, Drink water. Get rest. Pace yourself. Stay cool everybody.

The forecast is: Hot, Hot, & Hot. 🔥🔥

Let's take a moment to shine a light on a medical must know- Heat Exhaustion or Heat Stroke!

As the weather gets warmer most tend to spend more time outside. It is important to call 911 if you or someone you may be around shows signs of heat stroke as it could be a life threatening emergency and may need immediate treatment.

How to avoid Heat Exhaustion/Heat Stroke:
🔵 Stay Hydrated with water or electrolytes
🔵Avoid alcohol/caffeine if you are doing strenuous activities
🔵 Find shade while outside
🔵 Never leave kids or pets in hot cars
🔵 Wear light clothing and a hat

AED’s dramatically increase the chance of survival!!!!!! 

Every second counts. Cardiac arrest can happen anywhere — on a sidewalk, in a grocery store, at the gym and at home.

But here’s the powerful truth: Using an AED before emergency services arrive can mean the difference between life and death.

Get the AED and turn it on. ▶️ View our new PSA: http://spr.ly/61854GvrH

For the safety of our community!

With school starting back and everyone posting photos of your adorable children, please be mindful of revealing personal information about your child. Their full name, name of their school, grade, age and other identifying tidbits can be used by predators and scammers. The safest practice is to keep personal information to a minimum, no matter your privacy settings or friends. Have a great school year!
