Overloaded circuits, corroded pool bonding connections, and untested GFCI outlets are some of the most overlooked warm-weather hazards. Before you cool off, make sure your electrical setup can handle the heat safely. Test your GFCI. Check your outlets. Swim safe.

Today, we mourn retired HCFMO K9 Delta. For nine years, Delta faithfully served Harris County alongside his handler and partner, Sgt. Tessier, responding to fire scenes, assisting investigations, training, and supporting community outreach. Your legacy will never be forgotten.
