Helden in Nürtingen: Craftsmen free baby from a hot car!

in Nürtingen, in the Esslingen district, there was a dramatic incident on Friday when craftsman freed a ten -month -old boy from a car parked in the sun. The child's mother, a 30-year-old, accidentally left the key in the vehicle when she briefly got out. When she came back, the doors of the car themselves were locked, which made the situation extremely critical for the child. ZVW reports that the craftsmen who worked, the desperate situation and acted immediately.

quickly the craftsmen opened the vehicle through a slightly open window and managed to achieve the keys. In the meantime, the fire brigade and police arrived at the scene. Fortunately, the boy was already freed and well. It remains unclear how long the child was in the car and for what reason the mother had moved away from the vehicle.

risk factors for children

The dangers of overheating in vehicles are particularly serious for children. At high outside temperatures, the interior temperature of a car can quickly reach dangerous values. According to Safeufwachsen.de , internal values ​​of up to 36 degrees can already be reached at 20 degrees. At 34 degrees outside temperature, the interior temperature even increases to 50 degrees. Children have the ability to regulate their body temperature, not as good as adults, which increases their vulnerability in such situations.

The incident in Nürtingen is in the context of a similar situation in Ulm, where a man smashed the disc of his own vehicle during another emergency to free his two toddlers. Witnesses had alerted the police because they suspected him to commit a crime. Badische Zeitung describes that in this case the car had also locked itself and the man wanted to free his children from the danger zone.

experts urgently warn against leaving children or animals in parked cars, even for a short time. What is often uncomfortable for adults can quickly become life -threatening for young children. In the case of critical conditions, it should be acted immediately to avoid overheating, for example by punching a disc, to give access. Lifeguards who help in such an emergency usually have no legal consequences.
