🚨 EXTREME HEAT ALERT 🚨

High temperatures and dangerous heat are expected to move into our area beginning Thursday and continuing through the July 4th holiday weekend.

Forecast highs are expected to reach the upper 90s to near 100°F by Friday and remain dangerously hot through the weekend. Heat impacts are expected to range from MAJOR to EXTREME, increasing the risk of heat-related illnesses for anyone spending extended time outdoors without proper hydration or cooling.

⚠️ Please plan ahead for the heat:
💧 Drink plenty of water throughout the day—even if you don’t feel thirsty.
🏠 Stay indoors or in air-conditioned spaces during the hottest part of the day whenever possible.
👵 Check on elderly family members, neighbors, young children, and others who may be more vulnerable to extreme heat.
🐶 Don’t forget your pets—provide fresh water and shade, and never leave children or animals in a parked vehicle.
🌙 Overnight temperatures will remain warm, providing little relief from the heat.

If you’re spending time outdoors for work, recreation, or holiday celebrations, take frequent breaks, wear lightweight clothing, and know the signs of heat exhaustion and heat stroke.

As you prepare for the week and holiday weekend, please consider the extreme heat when planning activities and be mindful of these conditions during any emergency situations.

Stay safe, stay hydrated, and have a safe Independence Day weekend!

Erlanger Fire/EMS Department we see you. Keep leading from the front!

Another one!! Congratulations to the men and women of Erlanger Fire & EMS in Kentucky. 🔥

🚒 Historic Win for High Point Firefighters.

This morning, the City of High Point Government City Council voted 5–3 to extend the Special Separation Allowance (SSA) to our firefighters — a benefit that moves us one meaningful step closer to retiring with dignity.

While we remain encouraged by this vote, we understand the final framework and funding structure have yet to be determined. We look forward to working with city leadership on a program that mirrors the SSA already in place for our police officers — as expressed by City Manager Logan Ford during today's meeting.

We are grateful to the council members who cast their votes in favor of our firefighters:

✅ Mayor Jefferson
✅ Councilman Andrew
✅ Councilman Holmes
✅ Councilmember Dr. Harman
✅ Councilmember Peters

This benefit strengthens the City of High Point Fire Department's ability to attract and retain the talented men and women who protect our community every day. The work continues, but today, we celebrate a step in the right direction.
