Beware of the Dog Days of Summer!
|
|
As the temperatures rise, so does the amount of 9-1-1 calls we receive about pets being trapped inside cars. According to SSPD, leaving Fido in a car with the A/C on and the motor running can make it easy to steal your car (and your dog). Be pet smart and keep your pet and yourself safe (and hydrated) during summer's heat.

Summertime means bar-b-cue season. Outdoor grilling is one of the most popular ways to cook food. But a grill placed to close anything that can burn is a fire hazard. Sandy Springs Fire Rescue wants you to stay safe by following simple guidelines.
