Floridians,
This week, I warned Florida parents, caregivers and loved ones to never leave a child or pet unattended in a vehicle especially as a stifling heat wave impacts much of the state. Summer in Florida is in full swing and with it brings blazing temperatures and the dangers associated with hot cars. Temperatures inside a parked car increase quickly, becoming dangerously hot in just a matter of minutes. Experts say that an average 37 children under the age of 15 die every year from hot car related tragedies. These heartbreaking numbers are preventable by following a few safety tips like staying alert when your daily routine changes and avoiding distractions while driving.
Atentamente,
