        It’s important to take extra precautions in this heat to prevent health related illnesses to yourself and others.
        Leaving life in a parked car (such as your pets or children), even for 10 minutes can be a serious mistake. It only takes a few minutes to create a dangerously hot situation as vehicles heat quickly in direct sunlight.
        The lack of airflow and the windows act like a greenhouse, trapping heat in the interior.
        Avoid heat related illnesses by staying cool and hydrated, but also by wearing light colored loose-fit clothing.
