A baby was born outside a Chicago Fire Department station in the city's River West neighborhood Tuesday morning. Fire officials said a vehicle pulled up with a woman in a labor outside Engine 14 in the 1100-block of West Chicago Avenue around 8:50 a.m. The woman was being driven to the hospital by a friend who pulled over at the fire house as the mother's contractions were only about a minute apart. "She knew it was happening and that it was not going to wait," Capt. Barbara Ohse said. "It was imminent." Led by Capt. Ohse, the firehouse jumped into action. "It went from no baby to 'we are having a baby!'" firefighter and EMT Aidan Flahaven said.
