⛈️☀️ Extreme Weather Safety: Simple Steps to Protect Your Family 🛡️🌵

From blistering summer heat waves to sudden monsoon dust storms and flash floods, Arizona weather can change dramatically in a matter of minutes. Being weather-aware and taking proactive precautions is your best defense against severe hazards!

🛡️ Essential Safety Tips for Extreme Weather:
☀️ For Extreme Heat: Hydrate constantly—don't wait until you're thirsty. Limit outdoor activity during peak afternoon hours (10 AM to 6 PM) and check on vulnerable neighbors and pets.

🌊 For Flash Floods: Never attempt to cross flooded roadways or dry washes on foot or in a vehicle. Turn Around, Don't Drown!

💨 For Dust Storms (Haboobs): If caught driving in low-visibility dust, Pull Off, Turn Off, Foot Off—pull entirely off the paved road, turn off your lights, set your emergency brake, and take your foot off the brake pedal.

📱 For All Storms: Keep mobile emergency alerts enabled on your phone and stock an emergency go-kit with water, flashlights, batteries, and first-aid supplies.

Staying prepared helps keep your household safe no matter what the weather brings! 🏢✨

Update - for Thursday, August 26, 2026 at 1030am:

The fire was mapped by air earlier this morning at 484 acres. The additional growth is due to Wednesday's aerial ignition operation.

At this time there is minimal fire activity with light smoke showing. However, activity will increase throughout the day as resources conduct a second day of aerial ignitions. A helicopter is being used to do the operation with the goal of moving the fire further down Blue Mountain and into safer, more manageable terrain so firefighters can actively engage. Ground resources, including hand crews and the Navajo hotshots will start hand ignitions, in conjunction with the aerial ignitions, along Campwood Road to tie in the fire as it moves off the mountain as part of overall containment and full suppression efforts. Campwood Road, along with other local roads have been prepped to use as control lines to hold the fire.

Approximately 142 personnel are assigned to the incident.

The Campwood Fire is located 5 miles northeast of Bagdad. It started Sunday, August 23, due to a lightning strike

🚗🌊 Never Risk It: Turn Around, Don’t Drown! ⛔🛑

Monsoon storms can drop heavy rain in a matter of minutes, turning dry washes, intersections, and dips in the road into rushing torrents. It only takes 12 inches of moving water to carry away a small car, and just 2 feet to sweep away most trucks and SUVs.

Rushing floodwaters are unpredictable, can easily hide washed-out pavement beneath the surface, and carry heavy debris you can't see until it's too late.

🛡️ Driving Safety Rules for Monsoon Floods:
⛔ Respect the Barricades: Never drive around road closed signs or barricades—they are placed there for your protection.

👀 Stay Alert at Night: Flood hazards are much harder to spot in the dark. Slow down when driving during nighttime storms.

⏱️ Take the Detour: Extra driving time is always worth protecting your life and the safety of first responders.

If you encounter a flooded stretch of road, don't chance it—turn your vehicle around and find a safe, alternate route! 🛡️🌵
