Six local firefighters are being recognized for going above and beyond their line of duty as they helped deliver two different babies. Two crews received certificates and pins for their roles in helping two mothers give birth. One was in an ambulance on the side of the road and the other was at a home. The Stork Award is given to first responders who assist with a non-hospital delivery of a newborn. Wesley Brown and Andrew Nalin were one of the crews honored, they were in the ambulance when they had to pull over and assist with the birth on the side of a road. "Definitely a rush as far as leaving her house and a block away the paramedics yell up to the EMT driver pull over and get back here this is happening now," said Wesley Brown of the Evansville Fire Department. "It was definitely a beautiful moment though hearing that first cry."
