Monroe County Fire Rescue (MCFR) will host five “Beat the Heat” events this summer at different locations throughout the Florida Keys.
MCFR will provide a gentle stream of misting water for children of all ages to enjoy in a safe and fun environment.
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.
“These events are some of our favorite community outreach programs for kids, where they get to come out and meet firefighters and play in 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.”
More information is at 305-289-6005. These events are subject to cancellation due to inclement or threatening weather.
