The Latest from Doug
With temperatures soaring, it’s essential that we come together as a community and prioritize heat safety to protect ourselves and each other. First and foremost, I want to emphasize the importance of practicing heat safety during these hot summer days. Extreme heat can pose serious health risks, especially for vulnerable members of our community, such as the elderly, children, and those with certain medical conditions.
It is crucial that we take proactive steps to stay cool and hydrated to avoid heat-related illnesses. It's also important to never leave children or pets in vehicles. Temperatures inside a parked car can quickly reach dangerous levels, even with windows cracked open. Visit https://www.ready.gov/heat to learn how you can stay safe during the extreme heat.
On a more refreshing note, this weekend looks like a great opportunity to beat the heat and spend some quality time with your family and friends. Our City's local pools and splash pads are open and ready to welcome you for a splashing good time!
We encourage you to take full advantage of these amenities and embrace the opportunity to enjoy the summer to its fullest. Not only will you cool down, but you'll also foster a sense of community and togetherness, which is an integral part of making Fayetteville such a wonderful place to call home. Find your closest pool and splash pad at: www.FCPR.us/Aquatics.
Stay cool, stay safe, and let's enjoy the weekend.
Best regards,
Doug
