Opublikowano 25 maja 2017

Departament Policji w Sevierville (SPD) wzywa rodziców i właścicieli zwierząt domowych, aby byli świadomi potencjalnego niebezpieczeństwa pozostawienia dzieci lub zwierząt w pojazdach podczas ciepłej pogody.

Just a few minutes inside a car during the summer can become deadly. When the outside air temperature is just 85 degrees, vehicle interior temperatures can reach over 100 degrees in only ten minutes.

In the United States, serious injuries and deaths to children and pets are reported every summer. Children should NEVER be left alone in an unattended vehicle for any length of time. KidsandCars.org notes that on average, 37 children die annually from heat-related injuries while trapped inside a vehicle. For additional information visit http://www.kidsandcars.org.
