Texas Firefighters Deliver Baby at Home on Christmas Eve

HOUSTON, Texas — Houston firefighters delivered a healthy baby girl on Christmas Eve in her new home while waiting for an ambulance to arrive.

In the early evening of Christmas Eve, members of Houston Fire Departments Engine 5 responded to a call regarding a woman in labor. The crew, based on the city’s west side, provided care for the mother while they awaited the arrival of an ambulance.

As it became apparent that the baby would not wait, the firefighters delivered the baby girl.

The Houston Firefighters Association tweeted the photo of the proud parents and the happy crew of firefighters.

Houston Firefighters Association President Marty Lancton told Breitbart Texas, “Houston firefighters are grateful that we could help deliver the family’s new bundle of joy and that Mom and baby are recovering well. Our crew appreciated the opportunity to help. We applaud Mom’s bravery in the delivery. We wish the family a Merry Christmas!”

This Christmas won’t be one forgotten anytime soon. Read the entire article here: Breitbart

That’s good news.

Merry Christmas to the guys of Engine 5 and the parents as well.

That’s awesome!

I had to work through this Christmas, while sick, and ran an unusually-high number of medical aids and T/Cs, one of which had two fatalities. So my Christmas kinda sucked, which means this story cheered me up even more than usual.

God bless those folks, their baby girl, and my brethren who delivered her.

Sorry for the rough shift TOW. For the first time in many years, I had off Christmas and Christmas eve, so did my best to enjoy it.. Back on now, and running all the leftovers…

And yeah, good on the crew, and may God bless all involved… As I recall, some folks celebrate the birth of a pretty famous guy on the same day…

Hang tough TOW and a hearty THANK YOU for yourself, Fyrfyghter, and all of the others like you for who you are and what you do. Hey, if it was easy, we’d all be doing it!

Christmas Babies are special, I know, I have one (20 Dec). Hope Mom and Dad remember to have a Birthday Party with cake and ice cream for this little one in her future before they open the Christmas wrapped paper.
