WESTAMPTON Staying calm, cool and collected were key for two Burlington County first responders who helped welcome a baby girl into the world from a Delran living room during a snow storm.
Mark Boyd, a 911 dispatcher for Burlington County Central Communications, received the call at 9:54 a.m. on Feb. 2. It was from the father. I think he knew it was time, Boyd said.
The couple had the car packed up and ready to go to the hospital, but the man s wife was having contractions every five minutes, Boyd said. Add in treacherous road conditions, and there was no way the couple was going to make it to the hospital.
