As Memorial Day Weekend approaches, Russell County EMS encourages everyone to enjoy the holiday safely while remembering and honoring the heroes who gave their lives in service to our nation.

With heavier traffic, boating, camping, cookouts, and outdoor activities expected this weekend, we ask everyone to stay alert and make safety a priority.

Please use extra caution on and around Lake Cumberland. Water levels are currently lower than normal, creating hazards such as shallow areas, exposed debris, and changing shorelines. Boaters should slow down in unfamiliar areas and remain aware of their surroundings.

Memorial Day Weekend Safety Tips:
⚠️ Never drive or boat impaired
🛟 Wear a life jacket anytime you’re on the water
🚘 Buckle up and avoid distracted driving
🏍️ Watch for motorcycles and pedestrians
🔥 Never leave grills or campfires unattended
💧 Stay hydrated and take breaks outdoors
☔️ Monitor weather conditions before heading out
⚠️ Keep children supervised near water
📲 Call 911 immediately during emergencies

We hope everyone has a safe and meaningful Memorial Day Weekend.
