Please use extreme caution over the next few days.

The summer heat is upon us. Please remember to drink a lot of water. Make sure your family members young and old drink fluids. Take advantage of recreation centers, malls, stores and movie theaters to cool off a bit. If you are feeling thirsty you are already low on water. Drink more water than usual over the next few days of this high heat.

Tonight East Amherst provided fire and emergency medical coverage for the St Gregory the Great - Great Race. Rachel placed first in her age group yet still had the energy to stop by to say thanks to our firefighters! We think she’s almost as proud of her new helmet as she is of her outstanding finish. Congrats to Rachel and to all of today’s participants!

Driving around Buffalo today the roads are still slick as City DPW tries to eliminate hard pack and slush. So take it easy out there.

Also evident were LOTS of beer delivery trucks, more than usual. Well done Buffalo. Well done.
