🥵 Hot & muggy weather is back! And it’s only going to get warmer this upcoming week.

Knowing your body’s warning signs is key to staying safe in the heat. 💧 Hydrate early and often, take breaks in a cool place, and don’t ignore signs that your body may be overheating.

Stay cool. Stay hydrated. Stay safe! ☀️

🚨 August is here! 🚨

Yesterday was your monthly reminder to test your smoke alarms... 🙋 Show of hands who actually did it?

😳 ? 62% of Illinois home fire deaths occurred in homes without working smoke alarms or with alarms that weren't properly maintained.

A working smoke alarm isn't optional—it's often the difference between waking up and not waking up.

If you haven't tested yours yet, there's still time! It only takes a few minutes, and those few minutes could save your life and the lives of your loved ones.

✅ Test your smoke alarms monthly.
✅ Replace batteries as needed (if applicable).
✅ Replace smoke alarms that are 10 years old or older.
