On an 88-degree day like today, the interior of a car can quickly reach over 115 degrees, posing extreme danger, particularly for young children, seniors and pets. To prevent harm, caregivers should always check the backseat before leaving the car unattended. Eastern Carolina Injury Prevention Program - Safe Kids Pitt County at ECU Health Medical Center, the Pitt County Health Department, and the Martin-Pitt Partnership for Children, Inc. came together today to host a hot car safety event to educate parents and caregivers on preventative measures to keep kids safe.
