Great information from the Prineville Police Department. Also, please be aware of our community children riding bikes & playing outside during the summer months.
With the warmer weather, kids are spending more time outside playing in sprinklers, splash pads, and garden hoses.
Before turning on the hose, take a moment to check the water temperature first. A hose that has been sitting in the sun can contain extremely hot water, hot enough to cause burns, especially to young children and pets.
💧 Let the water run for a minute before use.
💧 Test the temperature with your hand first.
A few seconds of caution can prevent a painful injury. Stay safe, stay cool and enjoy your summer! ☀️😎
