🚨RESIDENTS OF ERLANGER🚨

With the intermittent heat we have been experiencing, we want to remind everyone to STAY HYDRATED!

- Drink water early and often
- Replenish with electrolyte drinks
- Limit strenuous physical activity outdoors

🚨 DOE RUN LAKE🚨

In addition to staying hydrated, we want to remind everyone to be extremely careful when hiking at Doe Run Lake, especially when it’s warm outside. The terrain and length of these trails make it extremely difficult for crews to not only locate you, but to get you out of the trails should an emergency occur. Please use EXTREME CAUTION when hiking these trails.

Stay Hydrated, and Stay Safe!

Yesterday, our brother Paramedic Ryan Fogle and his family lost their home to a fire. Due to the flames and smoke damage, this family is starting from scratch. They also lost their family dog, Arnie. Paramedic Fogle has been serving the residents of Erlanger with Erlanger Fire/EMS Department for 4 years and his wife, Jen, is a physical therapist for Cincinnati Children’s. Any donations would help this wonderful family work towards getting back on their feet.

Don’t forget to keep your outside vents clear of snow. Make sure all exhaust vents from your residence are clear of snow and ice debris, if these outlets become blocked or restricted the Carbon Monoxide will back feed into your residence.

Check on your furnace, hot water and dryer vent during and after heavy snowfalls, and clear snow away from the vent’s opening if it builds up.

Carbon Monoxide is known as the silent killer.
