Inserito il 25 maggio 2017

Il Dipartimento di Polizia di Sevierville (SPD) esorta i genitori e i proprietari di animali domestici a essere consapevoli del potenziale pericolo di lasciare i propri bambini o animali domestici nei veicoli durante la stagione calda.

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.
