Hot cars can turn deadly in minutes for children and pets

A parked car can rapidly heat to dangerous levels, even on warm days.
In 10–15 minutes, interior temps can exceed 100 degrees, even at 80 degrees outside.
By 30 minutes, car temps can be 30–35 degrees hotter than outside.
Interior heat can reach 120 degrees or more within an hour.
Children heat up three to five times faster than adults, heightening risk.
Pets are also at risk, especially those with thick fur coats.
Cracking windows provides little relief and does not prevent danger.
Look Before You Lock is the National Weather Service reminder to check the back seat.
If a child is left alone in a hot vehicle, call 911 immediately.
Parents should coordinate with daycares to prevent forgotten back-seat incidents.
