Tip of the Week: Don’t Try This at Home
Yesterday after getting home from work, I put the sunscreen up in my windshield and shut off my vehicle. Just as I was about to exit my vehicle, I received a phone call on my cell phone. As I was talking, I couldn’t help but notice how hot it was getting in my vehicle. In less than a minute, it was so hot and uncomfortable in my vehicle that I began to sweat. Summer is here, and it has hit us with force.  Temperatures this week will be over 100 degrees. With that in mind, it is imperative that we do not leave our children or pets in our vehicles, even if only for a couple minutes. Temperatures inside a vehicle, even with the windows down, can be 20 to 30 degrees hotter than the outside temperature. When you are out and about, always bring your kids with you when you are going to leave your vehicle. Do your pets a favor and leave them at home!

Take care, and be safe.
