Millions across the U.S. are facing their first round of summer heat this week! 🌡️🥵

Your first instinct on a 90-degree day may be to get in the car, crank the AC to max and sit there, but there’s a much faster way to clear out stagnant air. ⤵️

And remember: a parked car gets dangerously hot instantly. Never leave a child alone in a vehicle — not even for a second.

Really dude? You're gonna steal our safety chain?

Dennis and Jeff from Mater Dei Parish made quick work of the branches. Our back parking lot is cleared and ready for use.

Thank You!

HEADS UP - Our back parking lot has some downed tree limbs from the storm. We're trying to get someone out to take care of them. Until then DO NOT park under the tree.

Get in the habit of never leaving a child alone in the car so when the temps rise again (hopefully soon), an accident won't happen.

This National Heatstroke Prevention Day, remind yourself that it's NEVER safe to leave your child alone in a car — not even for a minute. 🥵🌡️

Once You Park, Stop. 🛑 Look. 👁️ Lock. 🔒

On average, 24% of kids who die from heatstroke get trapped inside a vehicle — and the majority of these tragedies happen over the weekend.

Prevent a tragedy before it happens:
⚫ Always lock your car doors
⚫ Keep keys out of reach

Please don't leave children in the car alone. The inside of a car gets hot enough to kill a small child even if it doesn't seem hot outside.

Sadly, the first heatstroke death of the year has been recorded after a child was left in a hot car. 💔

It’s important to remember that these tragedies can happen to ANYONE – but are always preventable. 👶🚗❌
