January 5, 2011 A woman driving her sister, who was nine months pregnant, to White Plains Hospital during this morning’s rush hour, had to pull off the road onto the shoulder of the Sprain Brook Parkway in Greenburgh. The two women, both Bronx residents, called for help when the expectant mother’s labor pains became severe. An engine company from Greenville Fire District found the women’s minivan pulled over near the Heatherdell Road overpass. The engine crew, led by Fire Captain Glenn Lis, with Firefighters Mark Baumblatt, Chris Pesavento, and Matt Talbert provided medical assistance to the woman. Upon arrival of a Greenburgh Police Department ambulance, the woman was transported by stretcher to the back of the ambulance. Very soon, Firefighters Baumblatt and Pesavento actively participated in the delivery of a baby girl, reportedly the woman’s fourth child.
Once delivered, mother and baby were sent off to White Plains Hospital via the Greenburgh Police department ambulance. At last report, mother and baby were doing just fine.
