Four paramedics and eight EMTs earned their stork pins last week as they helped deliver two newborn babies within two days. According to a release, a mother-to-be pulled over her minivan on the side of the road Thursday night when her baby was on the way and she couldn't make it to the hospital. Officials said Medic 3 and Engine Company 5 were sent to the intersection of East Washington Avenue and Highway 30. The paramedics and EMTs arrived at 9:26 p.m., helping the woman through her final pushes. A healthy baby girl was born four minutes later in the back of the minivan. Medic 3 wrapped the baby in blankets, handed her to her mother and they were transferred to the ambulance and taken to the hospital.
