Practice heat safety tips this weekend, burn permits suspended

The National Weather Service has issued a heat advisory this weekend from 11 a.m. today, June 30, to 11 p.m. on Sunday, July 2, with temperatures ranging from the low 90s to near 105 degrees.

Please remember to practice heat safety wherever you are. Heat related deaths are preventable so protect yourself and others from the impacts of hot weather.

  • Job Sites: Stay hydrated and take breaks in the shade as often as possible.
  • Indoors: Check on the elderly, sick and those without AC.
  • Vehicles: Never leave kids or pets unattended – look before you lock.
  • Outdoors: Limit strenuous outdoor activities, find shade, and stay hydrated.
