☔️ We are so thankful for the rain!!! ☔️ However, the heavy rain showers creates runoff that can lead to flash flooding. Please be vigilant of any standing water in the roadways and slow down. Hydroplaning is also likely in these conditions! As always we are here to respond no matter the weather….stay safe out there!

Never leave your Child or your pets in a hot car!

At about 2:30pm, our staff captured this update: the inside of the car is nearly DOUBLE the temperature outside! For comparison: the safe internal temperature of a chicken for eating is 165°F, and our car is at 185°F and climbing.
Temps are expected to keep climbing this week, so check back for more updates.

Remember: 🚫 never leave a child or pet unattended in your car.
