No Child or Pet Left Inside!

The unofficial start of summer has finally arrived, it is time for an important HEAT ADVISORY!  Never leave your child or pet alone in a hot car. Not even for a quick run into the store.

According to Safe Kids Worldwide, 10 is the number of minutes it takes the inside of a car to heat up 20 degrees (and cracking the window doesn’t help). On average, every 10 days a child dies from heatstroke in a vehicle.

Avoid heatstroke related injury or death by never leaving your child alone in a car, not even for one minute. And make sure the car is locked when you’re not in it so kids don’t go in on their own. If you see a child alone in a car, call 911. Emergency personnel wants you to call.
