With high temperatures continuing across our area, the Bolingbrook Fire Department reminds everyone to take a few minutes to check on those who are most vulnerable to the heat.
A quick phone call, text message, or visit can make a real difference for older adults, neighbors living alone, young children, and anyone with a medical condition that makes them more sensitive to extreme heat.
Remember to:
• Make sure they have access to air conditioning or another cool place.
• Encourage them to drink plenty of water.
• Watch for signs of heat-related illness such as confusion, dizziness, weakness, or fainting.
• Call 911 immediately if you suspect someone is experiencing heat stroke.
Caring for our community doesn’t always require an emergency response. Sometimes it begins with a simple act of kindness. Checking on a neighbor, a friend, or a loved one reflects the spirit that makes Bolingbrook such a strong and connected community. Thank you for doing your part to help keep Bolingbrook safe, healthy, and looking out for one another.
