Well, we're just over 1 WEEK away from our Firefighters' Picnic! August 29th is the date!

We don't want to jinx it, but as of right now, the weather looks to be FANTASTIC! Sunny and 80! Knock on wood all next week to keep it that way!

Below, you will see the parade route that's planned out. You will note that there is a QUIET zone for the first 2 blocks. If you or your kiddos have sensory needs, please utilize that space for a silent portion of the parade.

The parade will start at Wallace & Margaret Street and continue past Village Hall on Wallace St. The Fire Station driveway will be the technical end of the parade. Vehicles that are participating in the Touch A Truck event will enter the Fire Station driveway and circle around to park and get ready for Touch A Truck that starts at Noon and runs until 3pm.

We still have 1 more opening for a softball team to enter! Games start at 11am! Here's the link if you would like to register! https://buytickets.at/combinedlocksfirerescue1/2213995

We are going to have a great day of live music from American Platinum, Typsy Gypsy and Grand Union!

Food trucks, kids activity zone including inflatables, face painting and petting zoo! ThedaStar will (hopefully) be making an appearance from 12:30-1:30 - as long as they aren't on a flight!

Fireworks at dusk, and of course, LOTS of Paddle Wheel! And history says that the BEST PADDLE WHEEL deals come at the end of the night!

We will be running on-location raffles for several great prizes including gift cards from Schmalz Custom Landscaping & Garden Center, Inc., Lox Club, cheese boxes from BelGioioso Cheese and a roll back glider from EverGreen Outdoor Furniture, LLC!

We can't wait to see you there! Please take a moment to check out our sponsors that help make this event possible! We couldn't put this on without them!

From all of us at Combined Locks Fire & Rescue, Happy 4th of July!

Wishing everyone a safe, happy and healthy holiday weekend!

06/29/2026

As temperatures and humidity climb over the next few days, Combined Locks Fire & Rescue wants to remind everyone to stay safe and know the difference between Heat Exhaustion and Heat Stroke. Recognizing the signs early can save a life.

☀️ HEAT EXHAUSTION
🔹 Core Body Temperature: Usually below 104°F (40°C)
🔹 Skin: Cool, pale, moist, and clammy
🔹 Sweating: Heavy, drenching sweat
🔹 Mental State: Alert but may feel dizzy, weak, nauseated, or fatigued

✅ What to Do:
• Move the person to a cool, shaded, or air-conditioned area
• Loosen or remove excess clothing
• Provide cool water or a sports drink if they are awake and able to drink
• Seek medical attention if symptoms do not improve within 30 minutes

🚨 HEAT STROKE – A MEDICAL EMERGENCY
🔴 Core Body Temperature: 104°F (40°C) or higher
🔴 Skin: Hot, red, and usually dry (although it may still be damp after intense exercise)
🔴 Sweating: May stop completely as the body’s cooling system fails
🔴 Mental State: Confusion, slurred speech, irrational behavior, seizures, or loss of consciousness

☎️ What to Do:
• Call 911 immediately
• While waiting for emergency responders, begin aggressive cooling:
• Place the person in an ice bath if possible, OR
• Apply ice packs to the neck, armpits, and groin
• Never give fluids to an unconscious person.

🌡️ Stay hydrated, wear light-colored clothing, limit strenuous outdoor activity during the hottest part of the day, and check on children, older adults, neighbors, and pets.

Your awareness could make all the difference. Stay cool and stay safe! 🚒💙
