## Caption

Warm weather doesn't mean safe water.

As temperatures rise, rivers and lakes fed by snowmelt stay dangerously cold, and cold water can trigger shock within seconds. Strong currents often run beneath calm-looking surfaces, making even familiar spots unpredictable.

CAL FIRE crews train for swift water rescues. But the best rescue is the one that never has to happen.

Before you get near the water:
🌊 Wear a life jacket
🌊 Avoid fast-moving water
🌊 Respect cold water conditions, no matter the air temperature
