Fire Crews Help Deliver Baby at Edgewood Home

Baby Zoe was ready to meet the world early Wednesday morning.

Crews from the Joppa-Magnolia Volunteer Fire Company were dispatched at 4:47 a.m. to a house in the 500 block of Meadowood Drive in Edgewood to assist a woman who was in labor. The department said on its Facebook page that when firefighters and paramedics arrived it was clear that the birth was imminent.

“At 4:58 am, on the 2nd floor of the home, the Edgewood woman gave birth to a healthy baby girl,” the department said. “A loud scream from mom was followed by a loud cry from baby Zoe.”

The mother and the baby were taken to the University of Maryland Upper Chesapeake Medical Center in good condition, reports FOX Baltimore.
