WE FIGHT TO PROTECT OUR COMMUNITY

OUR CHILDREN'S FUTURE

Letter From The Fire Chief

The hot weather is here again.  Summertime brings sunny days and children out to play.  Wether participating in sports or just out riding your bike, remember to drink plenty of water and cool down in the shade. Heat related incidents are on the rise, here are some simple tips to help stay cool:   1. Drink plenty of water, sodas do not replenish the nutrients you need. 2.  Limit sports drink consumption, although they provide electrolytes, they should not be your main source of fluid intake. 3. Use sunscreen, check with your doctor or pharmacist to see what SPF rating is right for you. 4. Wear light colored clothes, dark clothes retain heat, light colored clothing reflect the heat. 5. Avoid the hottest part of the day, typically during 11:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. The Highlands Fire Department and it's members wish you and your family a safe and happy Summer Vacation. Congratulations to our graduates, Class of 2008.
