A mother in Northern Door County will have an exciting story to tell their child about the day they were brought into the world. After 11 a.m. Wednesday morning, the Sister Bay/Liberty Grove Fire Department and Door County Emergency Services were called to the Sister Bay/Liberty Grove Fire Station, where a woman was driving to deliver her baby. Those plans were cut short as emergency personnel were quickly diverted and were sent to the intersection of State Highway 42 and Wildwood Road, where the baby was eventually delivered. Sister Bay/Liberty Grove Fire Chief Chris Hecht was there when it happened, something he says has only happened four or five times in his 30-plus-year career. He adds that it is a special experience to be a part of when it happens because of its rarity.

Door County Emergency Services Director Aaron LeClair was not there for today's roadside birth, but he has had the situation occur twice in his career. He says it is just another example of the great care his crews provide on a daily basis.

Because of patient confidentiality, no other details are available.
