Beat the Heat with MCFR - Bernstein Park, Stock Island
Saturday, July 8, 2023
Monroe County Fire Rescue (MCFR) will host five “Beat the Heat” events this summer at different locations throughout the Florida Keys. MCFR will be providing a gentle stream of misting water for children of all ages to enjoy in a safe and fun environment. It is a great way to meet your neighborhood firefighters, learn about fire prevention, and cool off from the summer heat. Children are encouraged to wear a bathing suit and water shoes, and bring a water bottle and a towel. Free snow cones will be available for attendees. The events take place on Saturdays from 10 to 11 a.m.

“We hope parents bring their kids out to enjoy these fun events,” said Monroe County Fire Chief James Callahan. “This is one of the times when the fire truck shows up that it’s a good thing.”
