April has been designated by the State of Florida as “Hot Car Death Prevention Month.” In recognition, St. Petersburg Fire Rescue joined forces with Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital for a powerful press conference yesterday at the St. Petersburg Fire Rescue Master Station. Each speaker at the press briefing shared life-saving strategies and tips to protect kids from hot car-related heatstroke: - Never leave your child unattended in a car, even for a short period of time. - Always check the back seat before leaving your car. - Place a personal item (like your purse or wallet) in the back seat or set alarms to create a reminder. - Keep cars locked and keys out of children’s reach at all times. - Never let children play in or around vehicles. - Call 911 immediately if you see a child alone in a car. JWB is continually grateful for its partnership with St. Petersburg Fire Rescue and Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital in spreading the messages shared in this press briefing.
