When you're filling up your gas tank this summer, you may notice something different.

The Kentucky Department of Agriculture kicked off a new campaign today aimed at preventing hot car deaths.

Nationally, there's about 29 children who die every year due to vehicular cardiac arrest in children.

And that's something that we as a department wanted to bring light to.

And so that's what we're here for this morning, is to announce that to let you all know that we're going to have these inspection stickers that are going to add an extra special message to it to bring awareness for that.

I want to reiterate what Commissioner Schell said.

If this saves one child's life, it's worth all the effort that they're putting into this this new campaign.

He mentioned a number of children across the United States die every year as a result of basically hypothermia.

Okay.

As a as a trooper, but also as a father, I can't put into words how important it is that we make sure that we're taking care of our children.

Hypothermia is a huge problem.

Too many children die every year as a result of this.

Nobody wants to believe that we would be so distracted that we would leave a child over a pit in a car.

But it happens every year.

The Kentucky Department of Agriculture inspects about 60,000 gas pumps across the state each year.

They checked for not only the quality of the fuel, but also to make sure they've not been tampered with.
