The temperature outside in Kansas City felt like 110 degrees. Imagine what it was like inside that car.
Sarah told INSIDE EDITION: "She was completely drenched in sweat. Sweat was dripping off of her ponytail. She was completely red."
Sarah was seen swinging the tire iron but it was a team effort to get the child out.
She said: "First, I tried an aluminum chair to break the window -- that didn't work. I tossed it. Then, I grabbed a screwdriver and I was hitting the window with a screwdriver -- that wasn't working. Tossed it. The next thing that I had was another woman gave me a tire iron, I was beating the window, it would not break. Finally, a woman comes with a hitch, she smacks it and it busts open."
Finally, the window was smashed.
"When I grabbed her out of the car, even opening the door, it was so hot in the car. I don't know how she was truly feeling inside but it was really hot," Sarah said.
The season's heatwave is covering a huge part of the nation and heightening concern about kids being left locked in cars.
In Pennsylvania, there was a dramatic moment as police break a car window. Reports say the kid accidently locked the door.

Meanwhile Sarah is just thankful she was able to do her part in the nick of time. She said: "I just kept thinking to myself, 'If I don't break this window open, this girl is going to die. This baby girl is going to die.'"
