As we head into boating season, Wentzville Fire reminds everyone to stay safe on the water. 🌊🚤 National Safe Boating Week is a great time to check your life jackets, plan ahead, and practice safe boating habits – especially as many WFPD residents enjoy local lakes and rivers. Our team trains for water rescues so you don’t have to face danger alone – but prevention is key. 📌 Tip from our crew: Always wear a U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jacket, even if you're a strong swimmer. #SafeBoatingWeek #WFPD #WaterSafety (fb)
