NATIONAL PARK SERVICE MORNING REPORT Thursday, February 20, 2014 INCIDENTS Coronado NM Rangers Rescue Child Locked In Hot Vehicle Rangers received a report that a two-year-old child was locked in a car at a park trailhead late on the morning of February 16th. The child had been sitting in the back seat of the vehicle for about 25 minutes. The outside temperature at the time was in the 80s. A ranger utilized lockout tools to unlock the driver's side door and free the child. The temperature inside the car was found to be between 85 and 90 degrees. The child was treated for minor heat issues by a ranger and released without further complications. The child's grandparents said that they got out of the car to walk around and forgot that their granddaughter was still in the back seat.
