REHOBOTH BEACH, Del. – As summer moves along and temperatures rise, beach patrol officials are asking people to remember to stay safe on the beach when it comes to the heat. Rehoboth Beach Patrol Captain Kent Buckson says calls for heat-related illnesses aren’t uncommon. “You’re going to get a couple each day. We haven’t had too many emergencies. People tend to know it’s very hot outside, so I think they’re taking some precautions,” said Capt. Buckson.
Capt. Buckson says it’s important to hydrate the day before and while you hit the beach. He also says making sure you’re eating enough will help prevent any heat-related illness. “You need to plan ahead. The night before you need to start hydrating leading up to that day at the beach. If you’re not hydrated or properly fed with nutrition, that’s going to create a problem in the heat,” said Capt. Buckson.
