Just hours after jumping into action to help others in a car crash, a pregnant firefighter gave birth.

On Oct. 4, Bowleys Quarters Volunteer Fire Rescue & Marine (BQVFD) said one of their firefighters, only identified as Megan, was just a week shy of her due date. Megan was coming home from hosting her father's second annual memorial golf tournament when she got in a significant car crash.

Megan was able to get out of her own mangled car and immediately started helping a person trapped in their vehicle, BQVFD said.

Megan stayed with the person until a squad arrived, BQVFD said, and waited until all the people involved in the crash were evaluated to have her own evaluation.

BQVFD said not even a full 24 hours later, Megan gave birth to her baby girl.

Megan has been a career firefighter in Baltimore County, and has been serving in an administrative capacity for the past several months, waiting on the birth of her child, BQVFD said.
