🌊 WATER SAFETY SAVES LIVES. As temperatures rise, so does time spent at rivers, lakes, and pools. But conditions can change fast, and a fun day can turn dangerous in seconds. Here's how to stay safe: ➡ Check conditions first: currents, cold water, and hidden debris can catch anyone off guard. ➡ Wear a life jacket: it’s simple, effective, and it saves lives. ➡ Keep kids within arm's reach: supervision is the best safety plan there is. ➡ Skip alcohol near the water: clear judgment keeps everyone safer. ➡ Cold water is no joke: even on hot days, snowmelt can cause sudden shock. ➡ Never swim alone: bring a buddy and let someone know your plans. ➡ Follow posted warnings: closed or marked unsafe means stay out. We want every outing to end with everyone home safe. Enjoy California's waterways. #WaterSafety# #Summer# #California# #CALFIRE#
