Amid the commuting chaos caused by Thursday night's snowstorm, Yonkers firefighters delivered a baby boy in a home. An ambulance couldn't reach the family because of the extreme weather and poor driving conditions, so Yonkers firefighters took matters into their own hands. Engine 307 — consisting of Captain Anthony Porco, Firefighter Brian Dunn, Firefighter Brian Mulqueen and Firefighter Jonavy Arias — delivered the baby at 6:22 p.m., cut the umbilical cord and provided care to the baby and mother, who are doing well, Yonkers fire department said. The ambulance arrived five minutes after the baby was delivered, according to the Yonkers Fire Department.
