Lots of tree cleanup happening in the community today following the storm over the weekend. Although, most folks in our area are experienced with equipment operations (chainsaw, tractor, etc.) a SAFETY reminder is always in order!

Since it is a holiday weekend, please submit your weekly step count for posting on Tuesday morning.

Hope everyone has remained SAFE this week in the heat, our recent weather events, and the holiday weekend. We look forward to sharing our group's progress. Our goal sign took flight during the storm yesterday but will be ready for Tuesday.

It's not too late to Step into Better Health and Safety.
Set a daily or weekly step goal and report weekly.

Keep moving forward safely!

⛈️ There is a severe storm threat today (9/5/26). Most of the state is under a Level 2 Threat. Storms may be strong to severe later this afternoon and tonight. Have multiple ways to be informed. Where storms develop, we could see damaging winds, hail, and downpours causing flash flooding.

🔥🌵 And… it’s still hot hot hot out today. Dangerous heat is expected in many areas across the state.

Several communities saw power outages, trees down, and storm water flooding last night. Be aware. Have a plan.

Stay safe today and enjoy your weekend. Hopefully you are cooking something tasty and spending some time with good people.

Around the station, we say that Dee has a way of turning any holiday, theme, or topic into a fire- and life-safety-related activity.
We are hosting an International Dot Day-SAFE edition.
