The Quint 21 Red Shift crew had an incident where a home birth turned into a newborn CPR. This happened off Ziegler Road on Thursday 11/9/23. When the baby was born, she was not breathing. The midwife on scene began CPR and Q21 arrived and took over CPR. A pulse was restored by the time they arrived at the hospital. The last update the CFD received was that the baby was named Amelia and that she is receiving the best care in the NICU. Great work by Captain Joey Smith, Senior Firefighter Adam Waldrop, Senior Firefighter Pat O'Brien and Firefighter Dishaun Broughton, as well as Hamilton County EMS. The CFD sends well wishes to little Amelia and her family!
