Today Is National Heatstroke Prevention Day

Last updated on Tuesday, July 31, 2018

(UNDATED) - Already this year twenty-nine children have died from heatstroke inside vehicles, putting the U.S. on track to be one of the deadliest years for child hot car deaths.

National Heatstroke Prevention Day is today and is dedicated to bringing awareness to the predictable and preventable tragedies of children and animals dying in hot cars.

"No one thinks a hot car tragedy can happen to them or their family and that is why these tragedies continue to happen," stated Janette Fennell, founder and president of KidsAndCars.org, the leading national nonprofit child safety organization working solely to prevent injuries and deaths of children in and around motor vehicles.
