Dial 911 if you see an amimal locked in a hot vehicle. News10 recently warned Virginians that summer is coming, and they should be mindful of leaving animals in hot vehicles. In 2015, Virginia passed House Bill 2082, which allowed individuals to break into vehicles if a child was inside and in danger because of extreme heat, but only if they called 911 first.

Rax hasn't been in Missouri for a long time. As Rax fizzled out of your community, it was probably converted into an Arby's or Fazoli's. Today, there are only a handful open in Illinois, Kentucky, and Ohio. It also doesn't appear that Rax has an official website any longer. The specialty, of course, was that roast beef sandwich. By the way, Arby's continues to do well.
