Safety urged as heat drags on: Hydrate, seek shade, watch kids near water and car safety
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KBAK/KBFX) — As the heat rolls on it's always good to take it easy, especially if you are spending a significant amount of time outside. Make sure you're adequately hydrated. Try to find the shade if you can. Look for light-colored and lightweight clothing and last, but certainly not least: never ever lose sight of children around bodies of water, whether that be a swimming pool, a river or a lake or a vehicle, always look before you lock and don't forget about any children or pets inside.
