With extreme temperatures expected to arrive this week, including temperatures in the high 90s with high humidity, we would like to remind residents to stay out of the heat and be safe.
The Maynard Fire Station (30 Sudbury Street) will be open to the public as a cooling center on the following days: Wednesday, July 1, through Friday, July 3, from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.
Residents are asked to bring their own refillable water bottles, chargers, food, chairs and personal items to the station for optimal comfort.
Extreme heat can be life-threatening. To stay safe in the high temperatures, prioritize hydration, wear lightweight clothing, never leave children or pets in parked vehicles and limit strenuous outdoor activity. If symptoms like dizziness, confusion, or nausea occur, act quickly. For emergencies, call 911.
