When sunlight passes through a water-filled plastic bottle, it acts like a magnifying glass, focusing the light onto a single point. If this point is directed onto a flammable surface, such as the fabric of a car seat, it can ignite a fire. Firefighters have demonstrated how quickly and easily this can happen, even in a matter of minutes under direct sunlight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/?p=60274\">also read&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the summer heat intensifies, firefighters across the country are issuing an urgent warning about the seemingly innocuous practice of leaving water bottles in cars.
