Before you head to the beach to celebrate Independence Day, be sure you know the dangers of rip currents.

If you get caught in a rip current, don’t panic. Float and let the current carry you out until the pull lessens. Once the current weakens, swim parallel to shore until you can safely swim in. If you cannot escape the rip current on your own, signal for help by waving your arms and shouting for assistance.

Brevard County beaches with lifeguards from 10 am to 5 pm, daily:

🌊Cocoa Beach Pier (401 Meade Ave, Cocoa Beach)
🌊Shepard Park (299 E Cocoa Beach Causeway, Cocoa Beach)
🌊Minutemen Causeway (3 Minutemen Causeway, Cocoa Beach)
🌊Lori Wilson Park (1500 N. Atlantic Ave., Cocoa Beach)
🌊Paradise Beach (2301 Florida A1A, Melbourne)

And remember: when in doubt, don't go out by @brevardcofireems

Before you head to the beach, be sure you know the dangers of rip currents.

If you get caught in a rip current, don’t panic. Let the current carry you out and float or tread water until you feel the current weaken. Once pull has lessened, swim parallel to shore until you can safely swim in.

If you cannot escape the rip current on your own, signal for help by waving your arms and shouting for assistance.

Staff at Bethany Christian School are better prepared this morning to respond to an emergency thanks to hands-on training from BCFR's Fire Inspection team.

Friday afternoon, Inspectors taught them the proper technique for using fire extinguishers.

But the training didn’t stop there. With the holiday season approaching, the team also covered essential seasonal safety tips, including Christmas tree precautions, candle safety, and ways to prevent common holiday fire hazards.

A huge thank-you to Bethany Christian School for their commitment to safety, and to Fire Inspector Marcello Maggio and his team for going above and beyond to protect and educate our community!
