Summertime is great for travel, adventure, and all things outdoors. Still, with the added exposure to outside activities, there is more room for danger. To get ready for the 4th of July weekend, Doug Wright talks to the experts about how you can avoid getting in trouble over the Summer.

First on the docket is Salt Lake County Search and Rescue Commander Wayne Bassam. He talks to Doug about the effort behind quick water rescues and hiking mishaps. He and his team are the first call when somebody doesn't come back on time - he tells Doug what he wishes people would know before hitting the trails and waterways this weekend.  

Doug Wright talks to Unified Fire PIO Eric Holmes and Cottonwood Heights Mayor Kelvyn Cullimore about what you can do over the 4th of July weekend to avoid starting your home or neighborhood on fire (hint: it involves being smart with fireworks). They also talk about the Brian Head fire and how easy it is for a simple blaze to get out of control.

After, Doug checks in with IHC Emergency Medicine Physician Dr. Adam Balls about the most common types of injuries he sees in the ER over the summer and which ones are most easily avoided.
