ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Two mothers are celebrating their bundles of joy after Alpharetta emergency dispatchers helped them deliver their babies over the phone on Saturday.
"Field deliveries don't happen often, but today it happened twice," said the Alpharetta Department of Public Safety in a Facebook post.
The first delivery happened early Saturday morning. 911 Communication Supervisor Paul Miller helped the first mother before responders arrived on scene. Officials said Miller "kept his cool" while helping the mother.
Heath Stolton, communications supervisor, prepared the second mother for delivery while responders were en route later that day. Once crews arrived on scene, they were able to deliver the baby.
"Both the mothers and their new daughters are healthy and happy," said the department.
Emergency crews cared for the moms and their babies as they were transported to the hospital.
