Our hearts are with our North Texas neighbors tonight. π
The Ross Fire continues to burn across Palo Pinto and Jack counties, and families west of us have lost homes, land, and livestock. Firefighters and first responders are working around the clock in triple-digit heat. Please pray for their safety, for the families who have been evacuated, and for rain.
A word for our patients: smoke from the fire has been drifting east across the Metroplex. If you have asthma, COPD, heart disease, or you're pregnant, please take it seriously β
β’ Keep windows closed and run your A/C on recirculate
β’ Limit time outdoors, especially strenuous activity
β’ Keep rescue inhalers and daily medications close by
β’ If you're coughing, wheezing, short of breath, or having chest tightness that doesn't improve, call us
Call 911 for severe shortness of breath or chest pain.
Stay safe, Azle. We're here if you need us. β€οΈπ
