DULUTH, Minn.– With those high temperatures coming Sunday Duluth firefighters are giving some reminders to those trying to stay cool.
The DFD says to stay hydrated and cut back on alcoholic and caffeinated drinks while outside. If you have neighbors who may not have access to air conditioning, make sure to check on them and don’t leave kids or pets in hot vehicles.
While hoping people have fun, crews say prolonged exposure to heat can quickly put a damper on any summer holiday activities.
“Heat cramps are painful, spasms or cramps in your body. Exhaustion you’re going to be sweating and you’re just going to be fairly exhausted. And heat stroke is definitely something you need to call 911 about,” said Ben Tessier, a Fire Equipment Operator for the Duluth Fire Department.
Friday: Extreme heat
The goal is to raise awareness about extreme weather events and help Twin Ports residents put together emergency preparedness plans.
“We ve seen the floods, we ve seen the wind storms, we ve already had hail and lightening already this season,” Thole said. “It’s very important in any event of severe weather that families have an idea of what they are going to do.”
Thole said that forming an emergency preparedness plan includes talking with loved ones about where you would meet and what kinds of supplies you might need on hand, like food, water and a flashlight should an extreme weather event occur.
