County residents are urged to stay safe during the heat wave
 San Bernardino County Health Officer Dr. Michael Sequeira issued a heat advisory on Tuesday as extreme heat is expected to continue through the week.
“The heat can pose significant health risks, and it is crucial for individuals to be aware of these risks and take necessary precautions. Heat-related illnesses, such as heat exhaustion and heat stroke, can be life-threatening, especially for vulnerable populations,” Sequeira said. “By staying cool, staying hydrated and staying informed, we can protect ourselves and our loved ones from the dangers of extreme heat. Summer heat awareness is not just about comfort; it is a matter of public health and safety.”
