It gets dangerous so quickly in the heat

Oh great, there is a parking space free at the well -attended favorite baker and the snake is still short. Husch, get out of the car, the baby young talent sleeps his afternoon sleep, you leave it in the car briefly-and maybe you can make it to the supermarket next door? A relaxed day can run like this. And end tragically.

Because children or pets must never be left alone in the car in summer temperatures. And no, not only very brief. Because the interior heats up quickly. Then it gets dangerous quickly.

Even a slightly open side window cannot prevent the heat build -up in the car, the ADAC warns. Even at air temperatures of 20 degrees and sunshine, the temperature can rise so much on the inside that it becomes a good health for young people – especially for babies and toddlers.

As far as the perspective on the parents and animal owners – but what if you perceive something like this as an outsider? Then in doubt it is important to become active. The most important advice:

What to do when a child sits in the hot car?

Anyone who discovers a child in a car parked in the sun and sees this situation as a dangerous situation must provide help. Those who do not do this is punishable, according to the Prüzorhanization GTÜ. If the child is conscious, outsiders should try to find parents or the supervisors as quickly as possible. This does not succeed immediately and the child shows overheating signs: Rescue over 112 alarm.

Become active in the event of danger

Sometimes it may even be necessary to intervene yourself until the rescue workers arrive. If the child sweats extremely strongly and no longer reacts to signals from the outside, this can indicate life danger. Such an emergency situation may make it necessary to strike the disc with a suitable object, such as a stone. It is important that you neither injure yourself nor the child. The control center of the alarmed rescue workers can also provide instructions for action.

Document your own aid

Important: The procedure should be documented with videos or photos if possible. The GTÜ explains that this property damage is appropriate in view of the rescue of human life, but the emergency situation should be proven if necessary.

What if I discover a animal left behind in the car?

In principle, the facts in a animal found in a similar state in the car is comparable to a child. However, an emergency situation could be accepted faster and easier in a child, explains the GTÜ, referring to legal assessments.
