Ansonia EMS Deliver Baby in Ambulance

(Sharing Information from City of Ansonia's Facebook Page)

ANSONIA- This afternoon, ARMS was dispatched for the reported active childbirth.

Crews responded to find the patient having contractions just minutes apart. Crews quickly and safely transferred mom to the ambulance and as we were about to depart for the hospital, the little baby had other plans.

A healthy baby girl was born in the back of Bravo 9 at 2:21pm.

Truly outstanding job to the crews and VEMS medics involved. Amidst all of the heartbreak and sickness we see, today was a great one that will not soon be forgotten. We are so happy that Mom and baby are doing well.
