I'm biased but I'm with the EMT's on this.

Hoboken EMTs Smash Window Of Hot Car To Save … A Doll?
July 31, 2014 11:11 PM
HOBOKEN, N.J. (CBSNewYork) — Medics smashed a sport-utility vehicle’s window Thursday in Hoboken in an attempt to save a baby locked inside the sweltering vehicle.
It turns out it was only a doll.
Several witnesses called 911 to report a baby was trapped inside the Honda CRV on Jackson Street, CBS 2’s Dave Carlin reported.
Luz Kitty Mieles returned to her car to find shattered glass, apologies and promises that the city will pay for the damage. Her 2-year-old granddaughter left the doll in a child safety seat.
“I said, ‘Oh no, my car!'†Mieles told Carlin. “When I got there, everything was broken.â€
Mieles was at work when EMTs arrived and didn’t have a chance to explain.
“It’s a doll. It’s not a baby. It’s a doll,†Mieles said, laughing.
She said she has accepted the apology.
The Hoboken Volunteer Ambulance Corps defended the EMTs’ actions.
“The guys that were on the ambulance are taking a beating by their coworkers, but it’s all in good fun,†Thomas Molta, president of the ambulance service, told Carlin. “But again, I’d rather err on the side of caution. You can replace a window. You can’t replace a life.â€
