Serving Lucknow and surrounding area QM! Agency Mother Nature doesn't wait for the storm to pass. Fortunately, for a pregnant woman in Ashfield-Colborne-Wawanosh, two paramedics pushed through the fierce storm to help at a critical time. James Janssen and Tharon Riley arrived after a 36 -minute tumultuous drive on Jan. 7 to find a woman in labour. Schools were cancelled, roads were closed but the paramedics helped deliver a baby that morning. "Generally paramedics are called to attend scenes of traumatic injury or sudden medical emergencies," EMS deputy chief Jeff Horseman told Huron County council during a ceremony to honour the first responders. "Once in a while we are able to attend a call that reminds us how we can also be a part of a life changing event with a happy ending." Both mom and baby girl, Mary, were healthy and happy after the at-home birth. A midwife made it to the resi- dence a short time later. Paul Cluff, MI Agency Deputy EMS chief Jeff Horseman and Huron County Warden Joe Steffler flank James Janssen and Tharon Riley, who received congratulatory certificates and a stork pin for helping deliver a baby at a residence in Ashfield-Colborne-Wawanosh in January. Horseman said supervisors were trying to figure out how to get staff members to work that day. Another ambulance was stuck in a snowdrift trying to respond to a call. Horseman and Warden Joe Steffler presented Janssen and Riley with certifi- cates of recognition and the Traditional stork pin.
