HAVERSTRAW, N.Y. — With his crew, Matt Giannella, an emergency medical technician with the Haverstraw Ambulance Corps, responded Tuesday night to a call from a woman in labor.

When they arrived, the woman didn’t appear to be going into labor any time soon, the 19-year-old EMT said. The crew had the woman lie down in the back of the rig, and a medic checked on her.

“Everything was fine,” Giannella said. “Then she said something, and the medic looked. And the kid was coming out.”
