July is heating up! Firefighters, remember that hydration is your first line of defense on and off the fireground.
💧 Start hydrating before your shift begins
💧 Drink water regularly – don’t wait until you’re thirsty
💧 Avoid energy drinks and excessive caffeine
💧 Monitor each other for signs of heat exhaustion
Our work is demanding — keep your body ready to respond. Stay cool, stay safe, and take care of your crew!
