What started as a typical Saturday night quickly turned exciting when our crew was dispatched to a childbirth call! Alongside Summit PD, we arrived to find a mother whose baby decided to make her debut in the car instead of the hospital. Both mom and her baby girl were healthy and safely transported to St. Barnabas!

While two ambulances responded to the scene, a third remained staged at the building to cover other calls in town. Incredible teamwork all around—and an amazing job by Mom! 👶🚑

This past Wednesday, we hosted a Community CPR class with a great turnout of community members eager to learn life-saving skills! Participants practiced chest compressions, learned how to use an AED, and how to help someone who’s choking. It was wonderful meeting more of our neighbors and sharing these vital skills! Stay tuned for announcements in the future about more courses like this.
