Like a scene from a movie, a pregnant woman in labor and her husband ended up at the District 3 fire station in Battle Ground, Washington on Tuesday.

“They couldn’t drive due to the ice. Even their windshield was a sheet of ice. They were having difficulties getting here,” said firefighter Adam Strizak.

Childbirth can be dangerous, and so can fires. But that’s about all those two situations have in common. Though as an EMT, there's some education, albeit small.

“There's a few ride-along clinical hours that you perform. OB childbirth is a small section in that,” said Strizak.

So there the firefighters were -- in the middle of Fire Station 35, with two lives at stake.

“Do we have an ambulance yet? Because we’ve been getting a hard time getting ambulances that night because of the weather, through the ice storm and just high call volumes,” said Strizak.

But the clock kept ticking, and the contractions got closer.

“Once my partner started transitioning her to laying down on the floor, I saw she started to crown, and the baby started coming out. And just out of instinct, I immediately jumped in, I grabbed the baby as the baby boy was being born, and it was amazing,” said Strizak. “We were so fortunate that mom was healthy, baby was healthy, and we didn’t have any complications.”

No complications in the birthing process, but many in getting mom to the hospital.

“Once the baby was born, we put the baby on mama’s chest, and hopefully getting an ambulance soon, but we waited about an hour and a half on scene, so now we have two patients,” said Strizak.

In a night that could have ended badly, the firefighters showed that a willingness to help can work wonders.

“That's a reason we’re here kind of moment,” said Strizak.
