"
"It's so hot you can fry an egg on the sidwewalk."
"It's so hot the swimming pool is boiling."
"Hotter than a stolen tamale."
"It's so hot Siri asked to be dipped in a glass of ice water."
"It's so hot the ice cream truck melted."
"It's so hot fire ants are really on fire."
"If it gets any hotter, I'll have to take off stuff I really ought to keep on."

With temperatures exceeding 100 degrees over the next couple of days, all of these sayings may become accurate. If you must do outside work, try to do it in the morning and evening. If you have to work outside in the heat take frequent breaks and monitor your health. Please take care of yourselves and stay hydrated.

If there is an emergency incident in Ephrata, you may see more emergency responders and vehicles than normal. Calling for assistance from our mutual aide partners in these instances ensure that our responders can be relieved and stay healthy.
