Sergeant Daniel Forrester with the Headland Fire Department says that they have received multiple calls related to heat illness and recommends that while under this heat advisory, you do not overdo it in the heat.
Chances of suffering a heat illness increase in temperatures such as this. One sign of a serious heat illness like heat stroke is the absence of sweat, according to the Centers for Disease Control. If you experience any symptoms like nausea, vomiting, and strong fatigue after an extended period in the heat, you are advised to seek medical attention. Before getting to this point, if you have to do things outside, drink water and closely monitor your physical condition.
The heat advisory resulted in cooling stations being designated in the city of Dothan. The deputy fire chief for the city of Dothan, Chris Etheredge, says after evaluating the combination of humidity and heat, the city decided it was necessary to designate multiple cooling stations for those who can not access cool areas.Andrew Belle: Thursday until 8 p.m., Friday 8-6Doug Tew: Thursday until 5 p.m., Friday from 8-5Rose Hill: Thursday until 4 p.m., Friday from 8-4.
