Turnbo reminds parents and caregivers to talk with their children if being left in the care of a caregiver or if old enough to be left home alone. “Make sure they have someone looking over them, make sure they know how to call 911, how to use the stove or if they should,” said Turnbo. “Discuss their boundaries, if they are able to go outside the apartment.” Apartment residents may visit the HAA’s website www. safeinmyplace.org for addi- tional safety tips. “As a community, we must do our part to protect all chil- dren through education and by supporting families. Every life is precious and worth saving,” Turner said. Additional summer safety tips may be found on the Hous- ton Fire Department website at www.houstonfi re.org.
