Don’t leave your water in the car

Lack of potable water has spawned a million-dollar industry.

One company’s lack of competence has made many wealthy.

In the 60s, 70s (even presently), when WASA gave us hell but no water, no one perished for lack of water.

I remember water being sold at the Red Cross Children’s Carnival in the 60s.

Here is my concern. Bottled water left in a car is a fire hazard.

Light can be refracted through a water bottle and start a fire on a seat. Sunlight magnified by a water bottle can reach 250 degrees.

The sunlight will come through when the bottle is filled with liquid and act as a magnifying glass.

The clear liquid and clear material can develop a focused beam and actually cause a fire.

Take your water bottle with you when leaving the car. Prevention is better than cure.

Or the report will state, “Cause of fire, water.’”
