Overhanging bushes and trees must be trimmed to allow free passage of vehicles through the alley. Tall weeds and grass must be kept mowed. As temperatures rise, so do chances for children to get seriously hurt if heat-related precautions are not observed. The Fort Worth Public Health Department offers the following suggestions to keep children safe and healthy. Never leave a child or pet in a parked car.
Temperatures can rise to dangerous levels quickly.
Drink plenty of water to avoid heat stroke. Take time out for frequent water breaks when working in the yard or exercising. Even during brief periods of outside play or physical activity, children need high levels of fluid replacement. Watch over children playing in the water or at a playground. Adult supervision can help prevent drownings, falls and other injuries.
