In a heroic act of service, firefighters from the CAL FIRE Santa Clara Unit assisted in the unexpected birth of a child for a couple originally headed to the hospital. Realizing they were unable to make it, the couple sought help from the nearest fire station in Hollister, California, reported on Facebook by CAL FIRE.

The courageous firefighters and engineers were quick to respond, taking all the necessary measures to ensure the safe delivery of the baby and provide essential care to both the mother and the newborn.
This incredible event unfolded without any complications, resulting in the birth of a healthy baby boy at 7:04 a.m. yesterday.
