Sizzling temperatures are here and that means hot car dangers for kids and for pets – even if left for just a few minutes.

Granville County Government offers a reminder that if you see a child or a pet in a locked car during the summer heat, please call 911. North Carolina law allows first responders to enter another person’s vehicle after making a “reasonable effort” to find the vehicle’s owners. Be a good citizen and remember to alert authorities if you have any concerns about the safety of a child or pet in a locked car.

This message brought to you by Granville County Government, Granville County Emergency Management and the Granville County Animal Shelter.
