Hot cars put children’s and pets lives at risk!
Temperatures can quickly reach up to 200°F in a car.
- Each year children and pets left in cars die from the heat
- Within minutes, the temperature in a car climbs
- The hotter the day, the faster the heat rises inside the car
- Cracking the window does nothing to decrease the temperature inside the car
- Having the air conditioning on before leaving the car does not keep the vehicle cool
- If you see a child alone in a car, call the police or dial 911
Hot cars can kill... never leave a child or pet alone in a car!
