Child Safety Info from Your Fire Department |
|
Ten Minutes! That’s how long it takes for the temperatures inside a vehicle to rise 20 degrees. For children in particular, this increase is enough to result in death. There are steps to help prevent your child from being a statistic.
Stick to a routine to avoid distractions which will help reduce the risk of forgetting a child in your car. Keep car doors locked so children cannot gain access and teach them that cars are not play areas. Place a purse or a briefcase or even your shoe in the back seat to force you to take one last glance.
Never leave your child alone in a car, not even for a minute. If you see a child alone in a car, call 911. #LookBeforeYouLock
We also want your child to be safe while riding in your car. Car seats and boosters provide protection for infants and children in a crash. That is why it is so important to correctly use the right car seat every time your child is in the car.
