A prolonged, dangerous heat wave will grip the Midwest to the East Coast through next week, with record highs, warm nights, and major health risks. Stay cool, hydrated, and watch for signs of heat illness.

The MontgomeryCo(MD)Fire & MCFRS Recruiting are here at the Montgomery County Juneteenth Celebration at blackrockcenter! Come by their tent for free bottled water, frisbees, bags, Junior Firefighter helmets & (most important) information on becoming part of our great fire and rescue team!

High temperatures over the next week. Not great. Details and forecast updates at cwg.live.

In response to recent developments overseas, MCPD is in regular contact with local, state, and federal partners. While there is no known threat to our area, we are taking proactive steps to ensure the continued safety of all residents. #MCPNews #MCPD

☀️It's HOT! A forecasted heat wave will bring temps close to 100 degrees this week. Exercise safe. Exercising in the heat increases your sweat rate, fluid loss & risk for dehydration. Drink plenty of water: pre-hydrate, hydrate & rehydrate. MontgomeryCo(MD)Fire

🚘There's a lot of reasons to lock your doors. #DYK that OVER 25% of children who died in a hot car gained access to an unlocked vehicle & got trapped inside? Always lock car doors – even if you don’t have kids. You never know who might be playing nearby. #kids MontgomeryCo(MD)Fire #Community

📣Lifeguard your child. Lifeguards are an important safety feature but are NOT intended to replace the close supervision of parents or caregivers. Who is watching your #kids in the #pool? More importantly, who is not watching them? Designate a water watcher. MontgomeryCo(MD)Fire #besafe
