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.

Money hungry Democrats just can’t seem to ever get enough of other peoples money to spend! I will never vote to give them one penny!
Democrats claim to help/support the poor and downtrodden yet just keep taking more and more of their money. Oh I forgot, politicians are so gifted that they know how to spend our money better than we do.
