☀️ Beat the Heat, Stay Safe! ☀️

As temperatures rise, it's important to know the signs of heat related illness and take steps to protect yourself and others.

💧 Stay hydrated by drinking water throughout the day.
👕 Wear lightweight, light colored, and loose fitting clothing.
🌳 Take breaks in the shade or air conditioning whenever possible.
🤝 Check on family, friends, neighbors, older adults, and anyone who may be more vulnerable to extreme heat.

Yesterday at approximately 05:47 p.m., GPFD responded to a report of a possible drowning at Joe Pool Lake. Witnesses reported that a 15-year-old male was last seen swimming near the swim beach area and did not resurface. The Grand Prairie Public Safety Dive Team conducted a search and rescue operation and located the swimmer.

He was then transported to a local hospital, where he remains in critical condition.
The swimmer was not wearing a life vest.

As lake season begins, GPFD strongly encourages the public to wear a life vest or an appropriate flotation device while in or near the water.
