Baby Delivered on New York Firehouse Ramp
(AP) SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y.
Firefighters in an upstate New York city didn't have to go far to help a woman deliver her baby.
When Cora Burns of Saratoga Springs went into labor Monday morning, the plan was for her neighbor to drive her to a hospital outside Schenectady, 20 miles away.
Burns only made it as far as one of Saratoga's firehouses, where firefighters had been alerted that a woman in labor would arrive soon.
The car was already parked on the driveway when firefighters rushed outside. Two minutes later, Burns gave birth to her fourth son, Grahm, who weighed 7 pounds, 4 ounces. He and his mother were then taken in an ambulance to Saratoga Hospital.
Burns and her husband say they plan to treat the firefighters to dinner.
