Somebody was in a big rush to enter into the big bad world last night after emergency services were called to a home in Swords to help deliver a baby.
The Dublin Fire Brigade received the call at 10pm last night and rushed to mum-to-be who was in the throws of labour with contractions only one minute apart.
Can you imagine the panic!
Thanks to the firefighters and the help of the National Ambulance Service, the little boy was delivered at 10:08pm, just eight minutes after the call. Mum and new baby were taken to The Rotunda Hospital shortly afterwards.
The Dublin Fire Brigade were obviously proud of their efforts, sharing their news on Twitter:
“In a joint effort between Swords FF/Ps,@AmbulanceNAS and mum, we successfully delivered a baby boy at home tonight.”

Congrats to all involved, but especially the mama who, let’s face it, did all the work!
