Ludwigsburg firefighters help deliver baby at B27 stopThe child was born healthy on Monday evening on Heilbronner Straße before the alerted ambulance arrived.
- The alarm was received at the main fire station on Marienstraße, while the scene was only a few metres away at a bus stop on Heilbronner Straße.
- A couple was travelling to hospital in a minibus but could no longer reach it in time when the baby’s head was already visible.
- As the ambulance was still en route, the full-time firefighters, who are qualified at least as paramedics, provided medical care and assisted with the birth.
- The child was born healthy before emergency medical services arrived, after which the ambulance crew and emergency doctor took over care and transported the mother, child and father to a nearby hospital.
With united forces, calm, and professionalism, as well as numerous towels hastily fetched from the fire station, the firefighters supported the mother-to-be. It was certainly aided by the experience of some of the responders who themselves are fathers of young children— In a statement by the Ludwigsburg Fire Department
