🌞🔥 Know the Signs, Save a Life! 🔥🌞

Okinawa's summer heat is no joke — and heat-related injuries can sneak up fast. Whether you're training, working, or playing outside, it’s critical to recognize the warning signs and protect yourself and those around you.

🚨 Here’s what to look for:

⚠️ Heat Cramps

- Painful muscle cramps (legs, arms, abdomen)
- Heavy sweating during intense activity
- Fatigue

➡️ What to do:
- Stop activity, hydrate with water or sports drinks, and cool down in the shade.

⚠️ Heat Exhaustion

- Heavy sweating
- Weakness or fatigue
- Dizziness or fainting
- Headache
- Nausea or vomiting
- Pale, cool, clammy skin
- Fast, weak pulse

➡️ What to do:
- Move to a cool place, loosen clothing, sip water slowly, and seek medical attention if symptoms worsen.

🚨 Heat Stroke – MEDICAL EMERGENCY

- Body temp above 104°F (40°C)
- Hot, red, dry or damp skin
- Confusion or unconsciousness
- Rapid, strong pulse
- Seizures

➡️ What to do:
- CALL 098-934-5911 IMMEDIATELY. Move the person to a cooler area, use cool cloths or ice packs, and fan them until help arrives.

💧 Prevention is your best defense:
✅ Stay hydrated – drink water regularly
✅ Take frequent breaks in shaded or air-conditioned spaces
✅ Wear light-colored, breathable clothing
✅ Avoid peak heat (1100–1500) if possible
✅ Check on teammates, family, and pets

Never leave kids or pets in cars – even with the windows cracked!

🔥 Your mission is important. Your safety is critical.

Let’s keep each other safe this summer.

🚨 Reminder from Kadena Fire Prevention🚨

When you see emergency lights flashing and sirens sounding, every second counts, yielding to emergency vehicles isn’t just courteous—it’s critical to saving lives.

✅ Here’s what to do:

- Pull over to the left and stop when safe to do so.

- Stay alert and avoid distractions like loud music or phone use.

- Never block intersections or try to outrun emergency vehicles.

- Don’t follow too closely once they pass — give them space to operate.

- Our firefighters, medics, and law enforcement personnel respond to emergencies 24/7. Your quick reaction can make the difference in how fast we reach someone in need.

Help us help others — yield to emergency vehicles and keep Kadena safe! 💪🔥
