Yucca Valley firefighters responded to a call Tuesday they’ll never forget: they helped a woman deliver a baby. County paramedic Ezekiel Morales said firefighters were called to a home on Kickapoo Trail near Onaga Avenue when it became obvious that the 27-year-old mother wasn’t going to make it to the hospital in time for delivery of her baby. Morales said the baby girl made her appearance at 10:33 a.m. in the back of the ambulance on the way to Hi-Desert Medical Center. Both mother and baby are doing well. Paramedic Morales was assisted with the delivery by Firefighter Paul Gill, which was his first, and EMT Derek Horvath was driving the ambulance.
