Since Thursday, emergency workers responded to more than 30 cardiac arrest calls, a significant spike, and several of them had died, Ambulance Victoria’s state commander, Paul Holman, said.

He did not give an exact number of fatalities.

Police rescued four children from locked vehicles, including a 15-month-old baby, who was taken to a hospital due to heat distress.

Firefighters also had to battle about 10 fires across the state, but no communities were threatened.

In neighbouring South Australia, hospitals treated more than 50 people for heat-related illnesses, as temperatures soared above 46 degrees Celsius – the state’s third day of extreme heat.

No deaths were reported.
