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 trau-
matic injury or sudden medical
emergencies," EMS deputy chief
Jeff Horseman told Huron
County council during a cere-
mony 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 residence a short time
later.
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 tra-
ditional stork pin.
