MTC Heat Thermometer – for Member use

The Michigan Trauma Coalition Heat Thermometer is available to all MTC members to use as an educational tool. It shows just how hot it can get inside a vehicle as compared to the outside temperature.  The purpose of the thermometer is to create awareness of others in the vehicle—especially children or pets—and not forget that they are there.  The thermometer can be used at a variety of events, but it is not intended to be left unattended.
