Fire brigade rescues one-year-old child from car in Aurich – parents in panic!

In Aurich, a one-year-old child was accidentally locked in a car on August 11, 2025.

In the heat of the day, they called the emergency number, whereupon the Haxtum fire department was alerted. The rescuers were quickly on the scene and got into the vehicle with technical equipment within a few minutes. The child was able to be handed over to the parents safe and sound, which was a great relief for everyone involved.

The dangers of heat in the car

The dangers of overheating in closed vehicles are enormous. When the outside temperature is 26 degrees, the inside temperature of a car can rise to over 50 degrees within 30 minutes. Children and animals are particularly at risk. Your circulatory system can quickly fail, which is why quick action is necessary. BR points out that…

In such an emergency, it is important to call emergency services immediately and, if necessary, to force open the car. The fire brigade's task here is to act as quickly as possible. When a child or animal is trapped in such an emergency situation, minutes can make the difference. There are recommendations for action that can be life-saving in an emergency, such as calling the vehicle owner via nearby shops or taking immediate action. Small children and pets in particular should never be left in a closed car, even for a short time.

To avoid such a risk, it is advisable to always keep a close eye on children and pets. If passers-by witness a child or animal trapped, they must act quickly and inform the authorities to prevent a potential accident. Responsibility for the well-being of one's own children and animals should never be taken lightly.
