Скачать или смотреть K-9 Saved by Heat Alarm System in Florida Patrol Truck | Life-Saving Tech Protects Deputies’ Dogs

K-9 Eddie, a German Shepherd-Belgian Malinois mix with the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office, is alive today thanks to a life-saving heat alarm system. When Eddie's patrol vehicle overheated and filled with smoke, a safety system called “Hot-N-Pop” kicked in—rolling down windows, activating fans, and alerting his handler and dispatch.

The sheriff’s office uses these systems across all 16 K-9 units to protect their dogs from Florida’s deadly heat. Sergeant Mike Kilian, Eddie’s handler, says the system saved Eddie’s life during a recent emergency, emphasizing how quickly conditions in a parked vehicle can become fatal for dogs.

With temperatures rising across Florida, law enforcement agencies are constantly looking for upgraded tech to keep their four-legged partners safe on duty.
