SUMMER SAFETY ⚠️
☀️ With temperatures rising across Iowa and Illinois it’s very important to remember the danger extreme heat can bring, such as heat stress when it comes to outdoor activities and your body, BUT also very important to not forget about your devices too!
☀️ Portable phone chargers (power banks) contain lithium-ion batteries that can overheat, swell, leak, catch fire, or even explode when left if a hot vehicle. Always take chargers, and other battery-powered devices with you when exiting your car.

Stay safe. Stay cool. Stay aware.
