Nadia Orosz of Mountain View told NBC Bay Area her 21-month-old daughter got second-degree burns that may have come from hot playground equipment at a park in San Jose.

A hospital physician on the Peninsula, Orosz said she was sharing what happened to her child to remind other parents about the dangers of the heat wave.
