Commissioner warns residents to check back seats amid hot weather
Summary
The commissioner urged residents to check vehicle back seats for children and pets during ongoing hot weather, stressing that such tragedies are preventable and advising caution when leaving cars.
With continued hot weather, the commissioner urged residents to take a moment before leaving their vehicles to check the back seat for children or pets. "Make sure you don't have any pets in the back seat. You don't have any children in the back seat," he said, framing the advice as a simple step to prevent heat emergencies.
He presented the reminder as a public‑safety plea rather than announcing new county outreach or policy, and emphasized that such incidents happen elsewhere and should be avoidable locally through vigilance.
