Baby Boy Delivered By Dix Hills Fire Department

DIX HILLS, NY — A baby boy was brought into the world in June by the Dix Hills Fire Department.

Fire rescue personnel were sent to the family's home at 3:16 a.m. June 28 for a maternity call, according to public information officer Steve Silverman.

The mother was in active labor with contractions one minute apart by the time Second Assistant Chief and Paramedic Scott DiPino got there. First Responder Paramedic and Captain Antonio Villanueva soon arrived and helped DiPino in delivering baby Logan Solis in about five minutes.

District Paramedic Tony Hunt and ambulance crew members Rescue Captain Maresa Spizzirri, Lieutenant Wesley Bosse, Amanda Babcock and Alexa Rosenberg assisted and packaged the happy and healthy baby Logan who was brought to Huntington Hospital.

DiPino, who was been in EMS since 1995 and professionally since 1998, has delivered or been an active participant in the delivery of 50 babies in his career ... not counting his own three children.

The Solis family came to thank the crew for their help at the department's recent July meeting.

"It's always great to be a part of one of life's greatest miracles, the birth of a child," said DiPino via news release.
