We've seen a 67% spike in emergency calls over the last three days as extreme heat continues across the region.

🚑 We’re here when you need us, but we’d much rather help you stay safe and avoid an emergency.

Tips to beat the heat:
☀️ Stay indoors during peak sun hours (11am–4pm)
💧 Drink water regularly, even if you’re not thirsty
❄️ Use fans or air conditioning to cool down
🏠 Check on elderly neighbors or those without AC
🐾 Don’t forget to keep pets cool and hydrated too!

Let’s take care of each other and stay cool, Charlestown. 💙
