This Friday at the South Steps Fridays event at the Kansas Capitol, there will be a heat demonstration, to show how quickly your car can heat up to a deadly level. This video, from the Kansas Department of Children and Families,  shows a demonstration from the Kansas Traffic Safety Resource Office from two weeks ago.

This week's event will be from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on the statehouse lawn.

How hot is the inside of that car?

Later today there will be a heat stroke safety demonstration at the South Steps Fridays event at the Kansas Capitol.

The demonstration will show how hot it can get inside of a car, and how quickly that heat turns deadly. They will also give tips and reminders about how to not forget your child in the car.

Today's event is from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Kansas Capitol, 300 S.W. 10th St., Topeka. If you are unable to come to the event, you can see the social media efforts on twitter @DriveSafeKansas or facebook.com/DriveSafeKansas.
