High heat remains in our area. Remember these tips to stay safe during extreme heat:

💧 Drink plenty of water and stay hydrated.
🏠 Stay indoors in air-conditioned spaces when possible.
👒 Wear lightweight, light-colored clothing and a hat.
🌞 Avoid strenuous outdoor activities during the hottest part of the day.
🧴 Use sunscreen and seek shade when outdoors.
👶 Check on children, older adults, and neighbors who may be more vulnerable.
🚗 Never leave children or pets in a parked vehicle, even for a few minutes.
🐾 Make sure pets have plenty of fresh water and a cool place to rest.

Stay cool, stay hydrated, and stay safe!

🔥 Tamarac Fire Rescue -BBQ & Food Safety This Fourth of July

As we celebrate Independence Day and America's 250th Anniversary, Tamarac Fire Rescue encourages everyone to enjoy the holiday safely while gathering with family and friends around the grill.

A great BBQ starts with great food safety:

🌡️ Cook foods to the proper internal temperature and use a food thermometer.

🧼 Clean hands, utensils, and preparation surfaces often to prevent cross-contamination.

❄️ Chill perishable foods promptly. Don't leave food sitting out in the Florida heat for more than two hours, or one hour when temperatures exceed 90°F.

🔥 Celebrate Safely by keeping grills away from homes, fences, and combustible materials. Never leave a grill unattended while cooking.

Florida's summer heat can quickly turn a fun celebration into a food safety concern. Taking a few simple precautions helps protect your family and guests from foodborne illness and prevent accidental fires.

From all of us at Tamarac Fire Rescue, we wish you a safe, enjoyable, and memorable Fourth of July as we celebrate 250 years of America together.

Cook Smart. Stay Safe. Celebrate Responsibly.
