The severe heat wave gripping France serves as a stark reminder for Terrell Hills residents to be mindful of their own heat safety, particularly during the scorching Texas summers.

The city's public safety measures, including heat-related emergency response plans, will be crucial in preventing heat-related illnesses and deaths.
