The incident occurred in the center of Granada when the minor accessed the exterior of the home through a window and sat on the air conditioning unit, with her feet dangling into the void. The agents' rapid intervention prevented a potential tragic outcome.
The CIMACC 091 Control Room received an emergency call alerting them to the dangerous situation. Police officers rushed to the scene. Upon arrival, the girl's father, alerted by the emergency signals, looked out a window and brought the child back inside the house.
After ensuring the minor was safe, officers spoke with the father and reconstructed the sequence of events: the girl climbed onto a sofa, opened a window, and reached the exterior ledge to the air conditioning unit. The estimated height exceeded 10 meters.
Police confirmed the child sustained no injuries and did not require medical assistance. However, the incident has been reported to the relevant social services, following protocol for cases involving minors.
This incident highlights the importance of child safety in homes, particularly on upper floors. Experts recommend installing window locks or opening limiters and maintaining constant supervision of young children, given their curiosity and lack of danger awareness.
The swift police response, using audible and visual signals, was crucial. The CIMACC 091 (Comprehensive Command and Control Center) coordinated the emergency, prioritizing resource deployment due to the imminent life risk. Communication with social services aims to prevent future risky situations.
In a similar situation, it is recommended to immediately contact emergency services (091 or 112). If possible, try to calm the child without attempting rescues without proper equipment. Citizen collaboration, as in this case, is essential for saving lives.
Home safety specialists emphasize preventive measures such as window grilles, safety nets, or opening limiters. Avoiding placing furniture near windows and educating children about household risks from an early age are also key recommendations.
