A strange story from Whitman Massachusetts

Tweet

This story is kind of odd since in all of my years of reporting good news stories I have never heard of a mom to be who called the local fire department to come to her home to assist her to deliver her baby around 4 am local time. Erica Rodriguez who is the mom to be could not have her husband take her to the local hospital in Whitman in time since she was not going to make in time before her baby would come into the world. The Whitman firefighters were called to come to the McCarthy home to assist Erica have her child since the fire station was close to their home since Erica's husband Jason McCarthy made the call for assistance. Whitman firefighter Stephen Foster and his assistants remained calm as they assisted Erica give birth to her son Nathan. After the birth of Nathan, both Erica and her son were taken to a local hospital where they are going to be healthy and happy. Both Erica and Jason are very grateful that the firefighters were kind enough to take time to assist them in making them happy that they were able to bring a child into the world to be with Nathan's older siblings. I would have never known that firefighters are able to delivery babies into the world as well as put out fires and save lives.
