Klamath County Fire District 1 Crews Deliver Two Babies In The Field In Two Weeks
- 03/16/26
Klamath County Fire District 1 crews recently welcomed two new members to the community after successfully assisting with two field deliveries within a two-week span, demonstrating the professionalism, preparedness, and teamwork of district personnel. In both incidents, firefighters and paramedics assisted with deliveries prior to arrival at the hospital and then safely transported the mothers and newborns to Sky Lakes Medical Center for further evaluation and care.
Both incidents occurred before the patients could reach the hospital, requiring crews to quickly assess the situation and safely assist with the births. In each case, crews provided calm, skilled care to both mother and baby during delivery and throughout transport.
Field deliveries are relatively uncommon but represent a unique and rewarding part of emergency medical services. KCFD1 personnel train extensively for these types of calls to ensure both mother and baby receive safe, effective care when a birth cannot wait for arrival at the hospital.
“These calls highlight the versatility of our crews,” said Gary Denney, Division Chief of Training. “Our members respond to everything from fires and rescues to complex medical emergencies. Successfully managing two field deliveries in such a short period is a great example of the training, teamwork, and professionalism our crews bring to every call.”
Klamath County Fire District 1 responds to nearly 10,000 emergency incidents annually, providing fire suppression, rescue services, and advanced life support EMS throughout the district.
Klamath County Fire District 1 congratulates the families on the arrival of their new babies and wishes them the very best.
