Get Soaked in Ansonia

Ansonia EMTs Go Above & Beyond in Heat Wave

Sharing Information from City of Ansonia's Facebook Page:

ANSONIA - ARMS member Krystle Bieber did a little something extra special today. While on a call last week, she attended to a patient in an extremely hot second floor apartment for an unrelated medical issue. The woman’s air conditioner had broken and the heat was unbearable in the apartment.
Today, Krystle and her brother Billy (also an ARMS member) delivered an air conditioner to this woman that they had at their home and wasn’t being used. Billy installed the unit in the woman’s window for her and got the cool air flowing; she was so appreciative.
Just another example of the amazing and selfless people we have working here.

The heat's the thing

So, the question is:  What are you doing to beat the heat?

I’m not what you’d call a “summer person.” I currently am hiding in the air conditioning. I was out earlier and it wasn’t pleasant. 

Even though it's only the second day of summer, has the heat gotten to you yet, or have you been able to escape it?

Heading to the beach? Not me. My idea of having fun at the beach revolves around having the temperature cool enough to wear a sweatshirt and jeans.

October is nice.

Splashing in a pool? We don't have one, and don't know anyone who does.

My goal is to stay indoors, drink plenty of water and hope the A/C doesn't quit.



I’ve never actually tried frying an egg on the sidewalk, but I imagine if someone wanted to experiment with the idea today, that egg would get cooked.
