👀 Look Before You Lock! 🚗🔒 : Never Leave Kids or Pets in Cars! ⚠️
With summer temperatures soaring, we want to share a crucial reminder for everyone in our community. It's easy to think it won't happen to you, but tragedies can occur quickly.
Did you know a car's interior can heat up by 20°F in just 10 minutes, even with a window cracked? 🥵 This rapid temperature rise is extremely dangerous for children and pets, leading to heatstroke, brain damage, or even death.
Here's how to prevent a tragedy:
☝️ Look Before You Lock! 🚗🔒 Make it a habit to always check the back seat every single time you leave your vehicle.
☝️ Create a Reminder: Put your purse, phone, or work bag in the backseat next to your child or pet.
☝️ Communicate: If you arrange for childcare, confirm that your child has arrived safely.
☝️ Act if you see something: If you see a child or pet alone in a hot car, call 911 immediately.
Your well-being, and that of your loved ones, is our top priority. Let's work together to keep everyone safe this summer! ❤️
