Heat & humidity returns to the region today as temps warm into the mid to upper 90s. This combined with dewpoints in the 70s will result in heat index values between 95-102F. Make sure you beat the heat. Follow those safety rules, check on your neighbors & don't forget your pets.

Headed out of state this weekend? Don't buy #fireworks legally in other states and then bring home with you, All consumer fireworks are #illegal in MA. Many people have lost both their money and their fireworks (not to mention their fingers). ow.ly/iQdi30kpFth

Using a #generator after the storm? Prevent #CO poisoning. Place the generator outdoors facing away from doors, windows and vents. DFS has more tips in this short FireFactor: ow.ly/3SJL30iLoR8

RT @usfire: It is never safe to use an extension cord or power strip for your space heater as they can overheat and cause a fire. #WinterFireSafety #FreezingCold #ArcticBlast

Windchill is based on the rate of heat loss from exposed skin caused by wind & cold. As the wind increases, it draws heat from the body, driving down skin temp & eventually the internal body temp. Therefore, the wind makes it FEEL much colder. Safety Tips: ht.ly/SuOb30hrwwv
