Happy birthday to 1-year-old Lauryn, who local firefighters and paramedics in Reston helped deliver last year.
Last year, Fairfax County Fire and Rescue members from Station 39 B-Shift in North Point received a call to help deliver a baby girl at a local home shortly before 11 p.m.
After the birth, the mother and baby were transported to an area hospital, and the paramedics and firefighters continued working for the rest of the night.
Fast forward one year later and the family of baby Lauryn reached out to the members from Station 39 to join in the birthday celebration.
The birthday bash included a “Happy First Birthday Lauryn” sign outside the fire station, two cakes with one of them shaped like a miniature fire truck, balloons and a photo shoot with Lauryn and mom by a fire truck.
“Cake, balloons and Lauryn’s big sister, who was a big help during the delivery, were all part of the celebration,” the fire department posted.
