Wildland Fire Danger: Low

Safety Tip:

According to the American Heart Association, each year, about 635,000 people in the US have a new heart attack and about 300,000 have a repeat attack.

Some heart attacks are sudden and intense. But most start slowly, with mild pain or discomfort. Here are some of the signs that can mean a heart attack is happening:

• Chest discomfort. Most heart attacks involve discomfort in the center of the chest that lasts more than a few minutes, or that goes away and comes back. It can feel like uncomfortable pressure, squeezing, fullness or pain.

• Discomfort in other areas of the upper body. Symptoms can include pain or discomfort in one or both arms, the back, neck, jaw or stomach.

• Shortness of breath. May occur with or without chest discomfort.
• Other signs: These may include breaking out in a cold sweat, nausea or lightheadedness.

What should I do if I suspect a heart attack?

Even if you’re not sure it’s a heart attack, immediately call 9-1-1 or your local emergency medical services (EMS)
