Volunteer Rescue Squad members Sue Bender-Klein, Fred Beisser and Jimmy Chen helped make a special delivery during a call on Monday.
On Monday, the East Brunswick Rescue Squad did something it doesn’t normally do—it delivered a baby. “It’s very unusual for us to be able to deliver a baby in the back of an ambulance,” said squad member Fred Beisser. “We’ve gotten plenty of calls where a woman’s in labor, but by the time you get there you usually go to St. Peter’s (University Hospital) or wherever. But this was so quick.” Rescue Squad Second Lt. John Hosie said that an ambulance was sent to an East Brunswick hotel at about 8:20 p.m. Monday after the squad received a call that a woman was in labor and that her water broke. Also dispatched were paramedics from Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital. Since contractions were still about three minutes apart and there was no …
