The Folsom firefighters who helped deliver a newborn reunited with the family, the Folsom Fire Department said.

On March 6, the fire department responded to a home when the family realized their baby was arriving earlier than expected.

First responders on Engine 36 and Medic 36 helped safely deliver the baby boy and then took them to the hospital.
