People really enjoy being in the water in the Prince George area -- we have numerous rivers and lakes where we love to spend time -- so remember that it's important to be vigilant about fast moving water.
Jana Hargreaves, the unit chief at the Hart Highway station for the B.C. Ambulance Service, prepared the following summer safety tips:
Water and pools -- Children are particularly vulnerable to accidents in pools. They can drown in less than five centimetres of water, so never leave a child unattended near water. Always empty wading pools after supervised use. Children, adults and pets can be swept away in rivers or the ocean. Cars -- Never leave a child or pet in your car -- even with the windows partly rolled down as the interior temperature can reach 50 C in as little as 10 minutes.
