PLYMOUTH — Plymouth Fire-Rescue assisted with the delivery of a baby last week, evaluating mother and baby after the birth.
Paramedics were called on Jan. 5 just before 3 p.m. for a pregnancy problem on Route 25. The crew arrived to find a healthy girl had been delivered in the presence of her 4-year-old brother. Mother and baby were transferred to the ambulance for evaluation, and the father arrived in time to cut the cord.
Plymouth Fire-Rescue gave a baby blanket to the family, and the Children's Hospital at Dartmouth Hitchcock presented the family with a car seat.
“Childbirth is a high-risk, low-frequency event that we train for. We are thankful that this was a successful outcome,” wrote Chief Thomas Morrison in a public statement.
The fire department was assisted at the scene by the Plymouth Police Department.
