Fire, smoke and danger are part of the gig when you're a firefighter, but every once in a while something happens on the job that is far from routine. For a group of San Antonio firefighters that was certainly the case when a late night run turned into something they call "the catch." Engine 39’s Jeromy Wuneburger recalled his baby-catching abilities, by raising both hands to the sky. "I just kind of did this number right here, and just caught her," says Wuneburger. They are hands that save. That fight. That rescue. And in some cases, the hands that catch.
"Everything you've done up to that point with the department really doesn't matter, all you want to do is make sure you catch that baby," Wuneburger said.
