Northern Michigan Beats the Heat on Steamy Fourth of July

Posted: Updated:

For northern Michigan...it's hot. Because of the heat, Kingsley Ambulance is on standby, they say if you have to call on them, you've spent too much time in the sun.

If you're going to be outside for the holiday, it's important in these steamy temperatures to keep lots of water nearby to avoid heat exhaustion. Symptoms of heat stroke can come on quickly.

Before it's too late, pay attention to your body to know when it's time to get out of the sun.
