PHOENIX — As millions across the U.S. face triple-digit temperatures, the Phoenix Fire Department took to social media to remind citizens to be watchful of children around water.
The department posted a photo of the mustached firefighter who became popular in a previous social media PSA.
“When it comes to water safety, every second counts. Please, stay vigilant and always watch your kids around water. Let’s work together to prevent these tragedies and keep everyone safe,” the post stated.
