June 21 was the first day of Summer and temperatures could reach 100 degrees over the next week.

We ask everyone to drink plenty of water and seek shaded areas when working or playing outdoors.

Also, please check on your elderly friends and neighbors and make sure they are staying cool.

If anyone has any type of heat related emergency, please dial 9-1-1 or call the Sheriff’s Office at 318-256-9241.
