Hot, hot, hot
Norfolk OPP will be paying extra attention to motorists who leave children or animals in unattended vehicles during the current heat wave.

They will be armed with Mac’s Stores Froster vouchers as part of a positive ticketing program to help citizens beat the heat.
Tips on Vehicular Children and Pet Safety
Never leave children or pets inside a car for even a short time. Your car can become an “oven” in less than 15 minutes causing serious bodily harm or death to a child or animal.
Always lock your car and warn children never to play inside it unattended.
Install “lock-release” mechanisms inside your trunk to enable a child to get out safely if accidentally locked inside.
If you can’t take your child or pet with you when you leave the vehicle, don’t bring them and make other safe arrangements for them.
Leaving your vehicle running with the keys in the ignition poses a possible fire hazard and provides criminals an easy target. Keeping family, pets and property safe and secure is the primary focus.
