Extreme heat warnings are in effect or have been extended across much of Arizona, now through August 2nd.

Before you head out:
💧Drink water (and then drink some more)
🚗 Check your tire pressure before hitting the road. Extreme heat can affect tire pressure and increase the risk of tire failure!
🧊 Plan time in air-conditioned spaces
☀️ Avoid prolonged time outdoors
❤️ Check on those who may be more vulnerable to heat

The forecast is scary enough - don’t let heat illness be part of it! Stay cool, Arizona. 🩵
