Oakland fire crews said they were able to save a baby who was locked in a hot car over the weekend.

According to the department's Twitter post, they were notified of a 6-month-old baby who was locked in a family's car during Sunday's dangerous heat wave.

"Truck 7 provided life-saving support to a grateful family in East Oakland with a quick response," said fire officials. "The baby is doing fine, great work T7!"
