CCSO and Crossville Police Remind That Hot Cars are Deadly to Children and Pets

The Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office and Crossville Police Department are reminding everyone that hot cars are deadly to children and pets.  Even on a mild sunny day, the temperature inside a parked car can rise past 100°F in just minutes, even with the windows cracked.  Never leave your child or pet alone in a parked car, even for “just a minute.” If you see a child or pet in a hot car call 911 immediately.   And always check your vehicle for children and pets before you exit.
