The City of Oneonta Fire Department shares the following recommendations for dealing with the heat:

• Drink plenty of water. Being hydrated is the best way to beat the heat
• Close off the warmest rooms. There are probably rooms that are hotter in your house because they face the sun
• Battery-powered fans
• Take a cool shower or bath
• Leave the house and go to a business or public building that has air conditioning
• Go for a swim

If you need bottled water… call the Oneonta Fire Department at (607) 433-3480.

If you see a wire down… STAY AWAY; report it to the Oneonta Fire Department and NYSEG.

If you use a generator to power your home… DO NOT use it inside your home or garage - see attached graphic.

Thank you,
City of Oneonta
