Whether itโs failing infrastructure or just an increase in reporting but seems gas explosions are becoming more common in the last 2 years

โ๏ธ With extreme heat rolling in and summer in full swing, itโs more important than ever to stay ahead of dehydration!
Our good friend Rescue RD - Megan Lautz shared these quick and effective hydration tips for first responders:
๐ง Keep a 40 oz stainless steel tumbler filled and ready on your unitโdrink between calls to stay hydrated.
โก๏ธ For every uniform you sweat through, aim to replace with 1 ORS electrolyte drink with sugar (think Fluid Tactical, DripDrop, Liquid IV).
โฑ๏ธ Know youโre in for a hot one? Take electrolytes before or early in your shift or drill.
Your health matters. Stay cool, stay hydrated, and stay safe out there! ๐

Some people have no idea the strength it takes to keep showing and trying when all you want to do is run and start over somewhere else.
I donโt need a political science degree, Iโve survived 25 cycles of Volunteer Fire Department elections
