Naugatuck First Responders Deliver Healthy Baby Boy

NAUGATUCK, CT — When first responders found a woman far along in labor Wednesday morning, they jumped into action and successfully delivered a healthy baby boy, according to police.

In a Facebook post, police said Sgt. Michael Deely and Officer Martha Cotto found a woman in labor in the second-floor bathroom of a home in town around 11 a.m.

According to police, the expectant mother was accompanied by her husband and experiencing frequent contractions.

After Naugatuck Emergency Medical Services arrived at the home and further assessed the woman, they determined immediate transport to a medical facility would not be sufficient due to how far along in labor she was, according to police.

A Naugatuck EMS captain assumed the role of primary care as EMS crews and officers prepared an area for safe delivery, police said.

A healthy baby boy was safely delivered about 30 minutes later, police said.

Both the mother and baby were in good health following the delivery, according to police. They were then taken to a nearby hospital by a police escort for post-labor care.

"Excellent job to all the first responders on scene," police said on Facebook, "NEMS Captain Perez, Paramedic Beach, EMT Kirschbaum, EMT Rivera, EMT Sieling, NPD Sergeant Deely, Officer Cotto and Intern Amaro."
