To the surpise of all those involved, a woman gave birth to her baby son early this yesterday morning, in a Lagos Volunteer Fire Department ambulance.
The emergency ambulance crew of Deputy Chief Ângelo Marques and 3rd Firefighter Mário Faustino arrived at the woman's home around 6:22 am along with INEM, after she called emergency services saying she was in labour.
The speedy evolution of labour forced the crew to deliver the baby boy in the ambulance on the way to the Centro Hospitalar Universitário do Algarve (CHUA).
“Both the newborn and the mother are in good health and are being evaluated on site at the CHUA in Portimão the Lagos Fire Department wishes the family all the best”, said the Lagos firefighters, proudly announcing the event on their Facebook page.
