With hot temperatures expected over the next several days, the Wauseon Fire Department encourages everyone to take extra precautions to stay safe in the heat.

Heat-related illnesses can happen quickly. Help protect yourself and your loved ones by following these simple tips:

💧 Drink plenty of water throughout the day, even if you don't feel thirsty.
🏠 Stay in air-conditioned buildings whenever possible.
👕 Wear lightweight, light-colored clothing.
⏰ Limit outdoor activities during the hottest part of the day, typically between 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM.
👶👵 Check on elderly neighbors, young children, and those with medical conditions, as they are especially vulnerable to extreme heat.
🐾 Don't forget your pets! Make sure they have plenty of fresh water and shade, and avoid walking them on hot pavement.
🚗 Never leave children or pets unattended in a vehicle—even for a few minutes. Temperatures inside a parked car can become deadly in a very short time.

Know the signs of heat exhaustion and heat stroke. If someone becomes confused, stops sweating, loses consciousness, or has a body temperature above 103°F, call 911 immediately.

Let's work together to keep our community safe during this heat wave. Stay cool, stay hydrated, and look out for one another.

To our Community, Mutual Aid Partners, and Friends,

On behalf of the Wauseon Fire Department, we want to extend our deepest gratitude for the overwhelming outpouring of support, comfort, and sympathy shown to us during the difficult time following the passing of Tony Druhot.

Losing a member of our department family is incredibly challenging, but the kindness and solidarity of our community and surrounding agencies have provided immense strength to our personnel and to Tony’s family.

We are profoundly grateful to the mutual aid departments who stepped in to cover our response district, ensuring our community remained safe while allowing our members the time to honor Tony. To the local businesses, organizations, and individuals who sent food, flowers, and messages of condolence—your generosity did not go unnoticed and touched us all deeply.

Tony dedicated himself to serving others and seeing that same spirit of service and community reflected back to us during this time has been incredibly comforting. We are proud to serve such a compassionate community.

Thank you for standing by us, honoring Tony's memory, and lifting us up when it mattered most.

With sincere appreciation,

The Wauseon Fire Department
