🚒☀️ Hot Car Safety Awareness at Food Lion ☀️🚒
Stop by and visit Carthage Fire Rescue today at Food Lion for our Hot Car Safety Display!
Did you know the temperature inside a parked vehicle can rise to deadly levels in just minutes—even with the windows cracked? Every year, children and pets suffer preventable heat-related injuries and deaths because they were left in hot vehicles.
Our display demonstrates just how dangerous the inside of a vehicle can become. We encourage everyone to stop by, ask questions, and learn simple steps that can save a life.
Remember: ✅ Look before you lock. ✅ Never leave a child or pet unattended in a vehicle. ✅ If you see a child alone in a hot car, call 911 immediately.
Together, we can help prevent these tragedies and keep our community safe.
📍 Location: Food Lion – Carthage
🚒 Hosted by: Carthage Fire Rescue
We look forward to seeing you there!
