Designate a Water Watcher this summer.

It's easy to relax by the pool. Phones come out, drinks come out, conversations start. A few minutes pass and everyone assumes someone else has eyes on the water.

Pick one adult, no phone, no distractions, whose only job is watching the swimmers. Trade off every 15 to 20 minutes so no one's watch turns into a glance. Drowning doesn't look like the movies. It's quiet and it's fast.

Relaxing is fine. Distracted isn't. Stay safe out there.

A firefighter walks into a burning building. Zero visibility. Smoke so thick you can't see your hand in front of your face.

The thermal imager changes everything.

This tool reads heat, not light. It shows us where the fire is hiding, where a victim is down, and where it's safe to move. In a structure fire, it's one of the most important pieces of equipment on the rig.

This is Tools of the Trade -- Eastex Fire Department.

🏊‍♀️ Pool Safety Starts Before You Get in the Water

Did you know the color of a child’s swimsuit can make a big difference in how quickly they can be seen underwater?

Bright, neon, and light-colored swimsuits are often much easier to spot beneath the surface, while darker colors can blend into the water and become harder to see.

✅ Best choices: Neon yellow, neon orange, neon pink, lime green, aqua, and bright blue.

❌ Avoid when possible: Navy, royal blue, dark teal, black, dark gray, and dark green.

Swimsuit color is not a substitute for supervision, but it can be one more layer of safety that helps adults spot a child quickly in an emergency.

As pool season heats up, take a moment to think about visibility before your next swim.

🚒 Stay alert.
👀 Keep constant watch over children near water.
🏊 Choose swimwear that stands out.

Most pedestrian accidents don’t happen because people want to get hurt. They happen because someone assumes they have enough time.

Running across the street, crossing without making eye contact, or trying to “beat” traffic can change a life in seconds.

Take the extra moment:

- Use crosswalks
- Wait for a safe gap
- Make sure drivers see you
- Drivers: slow down and stay alert near neighborhoods and intersections

Getting there a few seconds sooner isn’t worth the risk.

Everyday habits can save lives. 🚶‍♂️🚗

Before crossing the street:
• Look both ways
• Make eye contact with drivers
• Don’t assume they see you
• And drivers, stay alert and slow down in busy areas

Most pedestrian accidents are preventable when both drivers and pedestrians are paying attention.

A few extra seconds of awareness can make all the difference.
