“We’re excited to welcome families back to Hot Summer Nights,” said Assistant Fire Chief James Clelland. “It’s a fun way for people of all ages to meet our team, learn life-saving fire safety tips, and enjoy a refreshing evening. With hotter temperatures forecast for the season, it’s also a great way to cool off while staying safe. We encourage everyone to stay hydrated, wear sunscreen, and take breaks in the shade or indoors when needed. And don’t forget your bathing suit!”
Please note that events may be modified or cancelled due to extreme weather or regional water restrictions, which help protect our water supply during dry conditions. Water activities will follow any applicable regulations in place at the time of the event.
