Tampa Police, Hillsborough County Fire Rescue, and Triple AAA had responded, but asked them to reach out to OnStar first.
Since when does having OnStar mean that the fire/police won't respond?
I *suspect* (given the report) that the police/fire actually responded to the scene and said they could open the car, but it would be damaged to some degree (like, a broken window from the fire axe, or the missing door after the jaws of life got at it) and suggested that the individual contact OnStar to open the door to minimize the expense/damage/clean up. I am confident that if the fire department felt the baby was actually in danger they would have had no hesitation about using the fire axe to gain access. Life comes first. Property is a second priority.
