Rescue 112 was dispatched today to assist a mother whose child had accidentally become locked inside a vehicle.

Thankfully, our crew was able to quickly help resolve the situation and ensure everyone was safe. As an added bonus, the crew was rewarded afterward with a little “fur baby” love from this sweet puppy!

Great job by the members of Rescue 112 for another professional and compassionate response!
