I was just reading about things that you shouldn’t leave in your hot car. Check this out. A clear plastic water bottle left in the cup holder could actually pose a very serious risk. Experts warn it could actually start a fire. Sunlight beaming into the car can be reflected by the water in the bottle and actually ignite a fire inside the car if it’s hot enough. And, water that’s been in an extremely hot plastic bottle could be contaminated with toxins. But wait, there’s more! Electronics with lithium batteries, like a vape or an electric scooter, could explode. Also, make sure these everyday items aren’t left in a hot car: aerosol cans, canned and bottled soda, cigarette lighters, medicine, and alcohol. OK, go check out your car.
