Never leave children unattended in the car
Laredo, TX,: Summer is here, so we want to remind the citizens of Laredo and surrounding areas never to leave children alone in the car. Our climate can become very hostile during the spring and summer and these conditions can cause serious injuries and even death to our most precious resource.
In 2006, there were at least twenty-nine deaths of small children after being left inside a hot vehicle. Some of these even occur on days with relatively mild temperature. Since 1998, there have been 300 of these needless tragedies. (Source CDC.GOV)
Safety recommendations
* Never leave children in an unattended car, even with the windows down.
* Be sure that all occupants leave the vehicle when unloading. Do not overlook sleeping babies.
*Make “Look before you leave” a routine whenever you get out of your car.
Facts
*Heatstroke occurs when the body core temperature reaches 104 degrees (F).
*A body core temperature of 107 degrees (F) is usually fatal.
* A child’s body warms 3 to 5 times faster than an adult’s does.
*Source US Center for Disease Control
Please Laredo, parents and caregivers need to get the word out that a car is not a babysitter but it can easily become an oven.

House Fire in Central Laredo

House fire reported at shea and san francisco. Preliminary investigation indicates that the cause was possibly a cooking accident. No injuries reported.
LAREDO FIRE DEPARTMENT OFFERS HOT WEATHER SAFETY TIPS
Slow down. Avoid strenuous activity. If you must work outside, try to do it during the coolest part of the day – usually in the early morning.
Stay indoors as much as possible. If you don't have air conditioning, stay on the lowest floor of a building out of the sun. Use electric fans if you have them. They don't cool the air, but they do help sweat to evaporate, which cools your body.
Drink plenty of water regularly, even if you don't feel thirsty. Your body needs fluids to keep cool. Avoid beverages with caffeine, such as coffee, and alcohol.
Eat smaller meals, but eat more often.
Wear loose, lightweight, light-colored clothing and a hat. Light colors reflect heat and sunlight, and help your body maintain normal temperatures.
Don't get too much sun. Sunburn makes the body's job of keeping cool more difficult.
Check on the elderly, children, and those who are ill; all are vulnerable to excessive heat.
Ensure that your pets are provided with shade and adequate water.
There are different types of heat related injuries and listed below are the more serious.
Heat Cramps – Symptoms include painful cramping and spasms of legs, arms and/or abdominal muscles.
Heat Exhaustion – Symptoms include feeling tired, weak and dizzy; headache nausea and possible vomiting. Heavy perspiration; skin feels moist.
Heat Stroke – Symptoms include feeling tired, weak and dizzy, skin feels hot and dry – even under armpits; skin also appears red and flushed. May become delirious and unconscious. This is a life threatening situation! Call 911.
