MONROE COUNTY FIRE RESCUE HOSTS ANNUAL ‘BEAT THE HEAT’ EVENTS THIS SUMMER
MONROE COUNTY, FL – Monroe County Fire Rescue (MCFR) will host five “Beat the Heat” events this summer at different locations throughout the Florida Keys. MCFR will be providing a gentle stream of misting water for children of all ages to enjoy in a safe and fun environment. It is a great way to meet your neighborhood firefighters, learn about fire prevention, and cool off from the summer heat. Children are encouraged to wear a bathing suit and water shoes, and bring a bottle of water and a towel. The events take place on Saturdays from 10 to 11 a.m.
- May 31 – Tavernier, Harry Harris Park
- June 7 – Layton Community Baptist Church
- June 14 – Big Pine Key Community Park
- June 21 – Sugarloaf School
- June 28 – Stock Island, Bernstein Park
“These events are some of our favorite community outreach programs for kids where they get to come out and meet our firefighters and play in the water,” said Fire Marshal Craig Marston. “It’s a great way for the children to learn summer safety tips and have fun at the same time.”
For more information, please call Monroe County Fire Rescue at 305-289-6005. These events are subject to cancellation due to inclement or threatening weather.
