"As we head into the heart of summer, we want to remind families that active supervision is critical anytime children are near water," said Cary Fire Chief Brad Delatorre. "Whether you’re at a public pool or in your own backyard, close attention and basic safety measures can make all the difference. That same level of awareness is just as important around the Fox River, especially near beaches or while swimming off boats. Life jackets and knowing your surroundings are key to preventing a tragedy."
