Cape Town politician JP Smith shared that the City's firefighters helped deliver three babies in two local townships. Online users praised their efforts.
Two of the deliveries occurred at Mfuleni's fire station, while the other took place in GugulehtuFirefighters are often associated with battling blazes and responding to emergencies like rescues or accidents. However, over the festive period, several firefighters stepped into midwife mode and received praise from the community.
The politician added that on 4 December, in the early morning hours, Gugulethu's firefighters delivered a set of twins, with the second baby delivered at the hospital."I am incredibly happy that all of the births were free of complications and that the moms and their babies are in good health. "Fires tend to take most of the focus, but it is called the Fire AND Rescue Service, and these incidents serve as a timely reminder of that."A few members of the online community loved what the firefighters did for their community and applauded them for their heroic efforts."It seems like the fire station has better midwives than public hospitals.""We did this on a regular basis at Milnerton fire station's medical room and in the shacks in Site 5, Dunoon.
