As a precautionary measure during this heat wave, it is essential to recognize the distinction between heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Please monitor the well-being of your family, friends, and pets.

At 6:45 p.m., NWFD responded to a reported barn fire in Charlestown, but upon arrival, it was determined to be a garage fire attached to a residence, prompting a second alarm. Engine 1's crew supported fire suppression and overhaul efforts.
