Overview

• On Friday afternoon in Barrio 3 de Noviembre, a two-year-old slipped into a dryer while her mother was tidying and became stuck by her legs and torso.
• Teams from Cuartel 6, the DUAR unit and Servicio de Emergencias 107 arrived within minutes to carry out the rescue operation.
• Rescuers used gentle, noninvasive maneuvers over a five-minute effort to free the child without causing harm.
• Medical personnel confirmed on-site that the toddler suffered no serious injuries and did not require hospital transfer.
• Officials cited a 2024 Mendoza case in which a toddler lost an arm in a running dryer to stress the need for appliance safety and vigilant supervision.
