Take careful consideration to keep safety top of mind as you work in extremely dry conditions.
- Hydrate: People and animals
- Take breaks: Know the signs of heat exhaustion
- Slow down: Now’s not the time to push it
- Prevent fires: Check and maintain all equipment
Here’s hoping for some much needed rain!
