A Peoria Fire-Medical crew made a special Christmas delivery.
The Engine 191 & Rescue 191 crew helped get a mother to the hospital after her baby was delivered at home around 1 a.m. on Christmas.
Peoria Fire Captain Aaron Greathouse said that responding to labor calls isn t new, but this was the first where he has delivered a baby on scene. This one was definitely kind of a unique scenario, he said. It was special all around.
Delivering on Christmas morning was a surprise to both responders and the family and Greathouse says it s a moment he remember.
