GOVERNMENT NEWS

HEALTH NEWS

  • Fort Myers Fire Department and the Children's Advocacy Center of Southwest Florida warn drivers that hot summer days can make car interiors dangerously warm as temperatures may rise by 20° in ten minutes and nearly hit 150° when the outside heat is in the mid-90s. Their fire truck display uses one clear message—ACT, which stands for Avoid heat stroke, Create reminders, and Take action—to urge everyone to check the back seat before locking their car.  WINK News
