Las Vegas Firefighters Local 1285

Engine 44 and Rescue 103 were dispatched to reports of a female in labor in a flood channel tunnel.  Upon arrival medics were presented a baby wrapped in a sweatshirt.  Firefighters quickly tended to mother and baby, clamping and cutting the umbilical cord, and both were transported in stable condition to the hospital. Great work E44 and R103!
