HIALEAH, FLA. (WSVN) - Hialeah firefighters helped make a special delivery.

According to officials, a crew from Hialeah Fire Rescue Station 4 received a call on Wednesday about a woman who had suddenly gone into labor.

When they picked her up, the first responders realized they weren’t going to make to the hospital in time.

Speaking with 7News on Saturday, firefighter Jason Sandora described the tense moments.

“When we responded, the baby was crowning,” he said.

Working fast, they managed to safely deliver a healthy baby girl.

“We helped assist the mother to deliver the baby. Everything went as planned there,” said Sandora.

Sandora said this is a career moment he will always treasure.

“You can go your whole career without getting this call,” said Sandsora. “This is one that I’ll remember for my whole career.”

Both mother and child are doing well.
