Police report: Cannon Falls Fair went smoothly; officers noted heat-related medical incidents and plan supplies update

Police Chief McCormick told the council on July 15 that the Cannon Falls Fair concluded without major incident but required responses to several heat‑related medical emergencies. “Went off without much of a hitch,” Chief McCormick said, noting department staff were “pretty much fully recuperated” after the event. He added, “we did have a couple of ... medical emergencies, during the fair.” McCormick said the department plans to stock up on cold packs and add two extra bags in every squad next year to better respond to heat‑related incidents. He described those steps as precautionary preparation for an expected increase in heat‑related events. No formal policy or budget vote was taken at the July 15 meeting; the chief described operational adjustments the department plans to make.
