Look before you lock

With warm weather increasing over the next week, people should “look before you lock” your vehicle.

With warm weather and sunshine, vehicles will rapidly increase even if the temperature is mild outside or “not that hot”. NEVER leave children or pets unattended in a vehicle for any length of time.

According to www.noheatstroke.org, 804 children have died due to Pediatric Vehicular Heatstroke (PVH) since 1998. All of these deaths could have been prevented.
