During this current heatwave, one central Kansas Police Department is warning its citizens to be on the lookout for snakes and other wildlife on the move.
The Hoisington Police Department recently posted a story on Facebook to make residents aware of a report involving a rattlesnake within the city limits. No one was hurt but officials are reminding folks that with extreme heat and dry conditions, snakes and other wildlife may move from their normal habitats in search of water, food, or cooler areas.
Use extra caution, particularly around tall grass, brush, wood piles, sheds, garages, and other areas where snakes may seek shelter.
