CONCORD, N.C. — Officials in North Carolina hope, ‘Look before you lock’ becomes the new slogan of summer to help prevent children from getting locked inside hot cars.\nTo demonstrate just how quickly cars reach dangerous temperatures, North Carolina Commissioner Mike Causey was in Concord Wednesday.\nTogether with Safe Kids, Causey put a few baking sheets of smores on the dashboard of a car, connected to an internal thermometer.\nAnd this April, North Carolina became the first state in the country to report a hot car death -- a 5-month old baby girl in Iredell County.\nIf you do ever come across a child inside a hot car, Causey says to dial 911 right away, saying timing could mean the difference between life and death.
