Pets, young children, and the elderly should not be left inside a vehicle, even if the windows are down. The county warns that in only a matter of minutes, the temperature inside a parked car can reach 130 degrees.
If you show any signs of heat exhaustion, it’s important to get out of the heat, loosen tight clothing, and hydrate by drinking water.
