To our community members: As temperatures continue to climb this week and weekend your Lake of the Woods Volunteer Fire & Rescue Company wanted to pass along some heat safety tips.
The safety of our community members during extreme heat, especially the youngest members and our senior members, is crucial.
For your awareness a heat wave is a prolonged period of excessive heat often combined with high humidity. These conditions can be dangerous and even life-threatening without proper precautions.
Please review some extreme heat safety tips as the latest weather forecast has the heat index potentially reaching over 100 degrees from Wednesday through Monday.
As part of our continuing public outreach, education and community risk reduction campaign, your LOWVFD wanted highlight some grilling safety tips and burn safety tips. These simple tips can help our community reduce risks associated with outdoor cooking fires and burns.
1) Only use your grill outside. Keep your grill at least 3 feet from your siding, deck rails and eaves.
2) Keep a 3 foot safety zone around your grill. This is especially true for children and pets.
3) Open your gas grill before lighting.
4) Keep an eye on your grill, fire pit or patio torches.
Let's all have a safe grilling season.

What a good time yesterday during the 4th of July celebrations! For those that may have been out on the water hopefully you got a chance to see our new Boat 29.
Your LOWVFD recently upgraded our Boat 29 in order to enhance our water safety campaign and to increase our existing response capabilities for both, emergency and non-emergency situations within our area of responsibility.
The upgrade was made possible by the donation of a former LOWA Security boat that was donated by Allied Universal.
Welcome to the fleet Boat 29 and congratulations on completing your maiden shift under the command of Chief Mars and Sergeant Beasley.
Thank you to EMT Dan Cianci for the great photo.
Thank you to all our family members who help us and support your LOWVFD volunteers as we miss family events in order to answer calls at all hours, and to train, throughout the year.
Thank you again to Chief Mars for bringing our Fire Family and Home Family to enjoy a cookout at the station.
Look for us tomorrow at the on the point celebrating with our LOW Family together.
