The mom and baby are both doing well after their big night
BRUSH PRAIRIE — It’s not every day that Fire District 3 responders get to deliver a baby in a fire station.
On Tuesday (Jan. 16), five firefighter/EMT/paramedics were on duty when a woman in labor arrived at Station 35 in Battle Ground with her husband.
The crew quickly moved her to the training room and assisted in delivering a healthy baby boy. Both patients were transferred by North Country EMS to the hospital for follow-up care after a delay due to weather conditions. The mom and baby are both doing well after their big night.
