It’s NEVER safe to leave a Child or Pets alone in a Vehicle, in Hot or in Warm Weather

Late June is bringing dangerous heat and humidity for much of Southern California.

Parents — it’s critical to prevent more children and pets from dying in hot cars.

It’s NEVER safe to leave a child or pets alone in a vehicle:

  • Not if you’re parked in the shade.
  • Not if the windows are cracked or down.
  • Not if you’re just running a quick errand.

As of the last week of June, not evening halfway through the year 8 kids have died from heatstroke across the U.S. after being left or forgotten in hot cars. One kid was from the Southern California area.

A vehicle can quickly become deadly — especially for a child or pets, whose body heats up 3 to 5 times faster than an adult’s body.

All it takes is 10 minutes for your vehicle to jump 20 degrees and jump 10+ degrees after every 10 minutes passes.  

Remember check and look in the back seat!
