These situations can be extremely dangerous, especially during hot weather. We urge parents and caregivers to take precautions to prevent such incidents and ensure the safety of their little ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Safety Tips for Preventing Child Lock-In Incidents:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><br><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Never Leave a Child Unattended:<\/strong>&nbsp;Whether it\u2019s just for a few minutes, never leave a child alone in a vehicle. Even with windows down or parked in the shade, the interior temperature can rise rapidly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Check the Back Seat:<\/strong>&nbsp;Before locking your vehicle and walking away, make it a habit to check the entire vehicle, especially the back seat. Children can easily be forgotten in the rush of daily life.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Use Reminders:<\/strong>&nbsp;Place personal items like a purse or briefcase in the back seat as a visual reminder to check before locking the doors. You can also put a stuffed animal in the passenger seat to remind you that a child is in the back.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Secure Car Keys:<\/strong>&nbsp;Keep car keys out of a child\u2019s reach to prevent them from accidentally locking themselves inside.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Educate Children:<\/strong>&nbsp;Teach children that a vehicle is not a play area and emphasize the importance of staying out of parked cars.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, even a short time in a hot car can be life-threatening for a child. Act fast if you see a child alone in a locked car: call 911 immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Sign up <a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/dont-miss-out-on-doppler\/\"><u>here<\/u><\/a> to receive our email digest with links to our most recent stories.<br \/>\nLocal news in your inbox so you don&#8217;t miss anything!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"background: #5cb85c url('https:\/\/d1iczxrky3cnb2.cloudfront.net\/red_logo.png') no-repeat 37px; color: #fff; text-decoration: none; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; display: inline-block; font-size: 16px; padding: 15px 38px; padding-left: 75px; -webkit-border-radius: 2px; -moz-border-radius: 2px; border-radius: 2px; box-shadow: 0 1px 0 0 #1f5a89; text-shadow: 0 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);\" href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/support-huntsville-doppler\">Click here to support local news<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45657\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From the Huntsville\/Lake of Bays Fire Department The Huntsville\/Lake of Bays Fire Department has been actively responding to incidents this summer where children have been accidentally locked inside vehicles.
