scorching temperatures alert: prevent leaving children and pets in parked vehicles

The city of Hannover is currently experiencing high temperatures, with temperatures reaching up to 35°C today. In light of this, the Fire Department Hannover has issued a warning about the dangers of leaving children and dogs in parked vehicles in direct sunlight.

Temperatures inside parked vehicles can rise quickly to dangerously high levels, even when outside temperatures are above 20 degrees. This rapid increase in temperature can lead to heatstroke or permanent damage to organs or the nervous system in both children and dogs. The risk to life from high temperatures inside a car can be reached after just 15 minutes at outside temperatures above 20°C, with the internal temperature reaching as high as 46°C.
