"As Massachusetts will experience some of its most intense heat in the coming days, it's important for people to make a plan to stay safe -- including staying hydrated, limiting strenuous activity, and checking in on one another. We've expanded hours at DCR swimming pools, beaches, waterfronts and spray decks to allow for more opportunities for residents to cool off. We're grateful to the workers who are putting in the time and effort to support these extended hours. All of us can do our part to help our friends and neighbors beat the heat."
