🚨 EXTREME HEAT ALERT: PROTECTING OUR SHORE FAMILIES 🚨
Melfa Volunteer Fire & Rescue Co., Inc. urges all residents and visitors to stay safe during this dangerous heatwave. Your safety is our top priority.
💧 STAY HYDRATED: Drink water all day: don't wait until you're thirsty. Avoid sugar and caffeine which can lead to dehydration.
⚠️ KNOW THE SIGNS: Heat exhaustion includes dizziness, nausea, and heavy sweating. If someone stops sweating, becomes confused, or loses consciousness, call 911 immediately: it’s a heat stroke emergency.
🏊 BE A "WATER WATCHER": Drowning is often silent. Designate one adult to watch the water at all times with zero distractions (no phones). Rotate this duty every 15-20 minutes to stay sharp.
Stay cool and look out for your neighbors. We are proud to serve the Eastern Shore community.
