Firemen have to be prepared for all types of emergencies. But it seems one London firefighter had to deal with an unusual emergency of his own, when he had to deliver a baby to a woman who was stuck in her car.
 
Ross McClaren was able to deliver a healthy baby boy, thanks to tips he learnt from the popular television show, One Born Every Minute.
 
The woman’s car was caught up in traffic as a result of a fire Ross had to manage and luckily McClaren was there to help the woman as she started to go into labor.
 
“I ran round to where the baby was and kept telling the lady to push. Once he was born we rubbed him down to get his circulation going and when he started crying I knew it was going to be all right. Someone said to me the other day that as firefighters we usually enter people’s lives at their worst moments so being there at such a joyful occasion makes a nice change.”
 
Mother and son were soon taken to hospital after the birth, where both are believed to be doing well.
