Our pets get hot, too! Especially if they are outdoors for an extended amount of time. Be sure they have plenty of water and shade. Asphalt is going to be too hot for them today. Stay safe!

We know that "summer is hot," but we want to emphasize that we are expecting several consecutive days with feels like temperatures over 100F; that's a lot of heat stress!

Night will provide very little relief as overnight lows only fall to the mid 70s. Check on neighbors, elderly, infants, and pets/livestock.

Always look before you lock your vehicle!!! 🚗🥵
