Thank you to the Findlay Fire Department for their help installing smoke alarms in the community this week. Together we installed nearly two dozen smoke alarms making eleven homes safer!

Home fires tragically claim seven lives every day, but having working smoke alarms can cut the risk of death by half. Tap this link if you're in need of a smoke alarm in your home: https://rdcrss.org/2OxZb50

Every day, the American Red Cross helps hundreds of active-duty military members and their families through our Hero Care Network, a 24/7 support system for families facing various kinds of crises.

For some new enlistees and their families, their experience with the Red Cross begins at the Military Entrance Processing Station, or MEPS. Volunteers like Steve Bales are there, at the MEPS, to explain the crucial role the Red Cross plays in getting those emergency communications to active-duty military members from their families, or vice versa.

The Hero Care Network is supported by more than 350 full-time employees and more than 18,000 volunteers who are handling more than 700 emergency calls every single day.

Thank you to Steve and all of our Service to the Armed Forces volunteers who continue to show up for our active duty military. Tap this link to find out more about our Hero Care Network and Service to the Armed Forces: https://rdcrss.org/45aLb5u

Welcome to the 'Ber months without the brr!

A Heat Advisory is in effect for most of Northern Ohio today, a spicy reminder that summer is not quite over yet.

Here are few more reminders as we are dealing with today's 90-degree temps:

- Stay hydrated by drinking a cup of water every 20 minutes, even if you don't feel thirsty. Avoid sugary, caffeinated and alcoholic drinks.

- Stay cool by spending time in air-conditioned places. If your home is too hot, go to a mall, library or cooling center.

- Stay connected by checking on others and asking for help if you need it.

Here's a link for more helpful heat tips: https://rdcrss.org/3Qdn3dK

Parents, we totally get it! The start of a new school year brings out a lot of emotions.

As we're all out here navigating the start to a new school year, here are some tips to help all of us along the way:

1. Teach Young Children Important Personal Information

Make sure younger students know their phone number, home address, how to contact their parents at work, and how to dial 911 in an emergency.

2. Remind Kids Not to Talk to Strangers

Teach children never to accept rides, gifts, or invitations from someone they don't know.

3. Walk on the Sidewalk Whenever Possible

If there's no sidewalk available, children should walk facing traffic so they can see approaching vehicles.

4. Walking to School? Look Both Ways Before Crossing

Kids should stop at every street corner and look left, right, and left again before crossing. Encourage students to cross only at corners, obey crossing signals, and stay within marked crosswalks.

5. Does Your Student Ride a Bus? Arrive at the Bus Stop Early

Students should get to the bus stop early and wait a safe distance from the curb. Teach kids to wait until the bus comes to a complete stop and only board when instructed by the driver or attendant.

6. Always Wear a Bike Helmet

If your student bikes to school, a properly fitted helmet is one of the best ways to prevent serious injuries. Kids should ride on the right side of the road and follow the same direction as traffic.

7. Buckle Up Every Time

Whether driving across town or just to school, everyone in the vehicle should wear a seat belt.

8. Use the Right Car Seat or Booster Seat

Younger children should stay in a car seat or booster seat until the seat belt fits correctly — usually when they are between ages 8–12 and taller than 4 feet 9 inches. Children under 13 should ride in the back seat.

9. Make Sure Teen Drivers Wear Seat Belts

Teen drivers should always buckle up before starting the car, no matter how short the trip.

10. Eliminate Distracted Driving

Remind teens to avoid texting, calling, eating, or drinking while driving to school.

Yes, our volunteers travel across the country and sometimes, around the world when disaster strikes. But more often then not, it's neighbors helping neighbors...down the street or a few hours down the highway.
