Frequent calls to save kids from cars Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au FRANKSTON holds an unenviable position as one of the areas where police were called most often to rescue children from hot cars. The Emergency Services Telecommunications Authority has
revealed that last summer there were 564 calls made to 000 reporting a child locked in a car on a hot day, with the most calls coming from Frankston, Preston, Pakenham, Berwick and Dandenong. The ETSA said that 14 calls were made from Frankston to save children from cars between December 2017 and February 2018.
ESTA’s executive director of operations Patrick Berry said the temperature inside a car can be up to 30 degrees hotter than outside, and pleaded with parents to take caution. “If you see a child or pet locked in a car make sure you call triple zero and state your location clearly to the operator,” he said.
“If you are in a car park, look for landmarks, section names, numbers or the colour of the parking bay so you can provide specific details.” Mr Berry said he hoped that the number of calls would drop with community awareness. Kidsafe Victoria general manager Jason Chambers said “most of the temperature rise inside a car occurs
within the first five minutes and leaving the windows down has little effect on the temperature rise.” “A child’s body temperature rises three to five times faster than an adult, which places children at greater risk of suffering from dehydration and life threatening heatstroke,” he said.
