A woman gave birth in the toilet paper aisle
Just recently, a pregnant lady went into labor suddenly while at a Walmart located in southwestern Missouri just this week! The birth happened in an odd place which was in the middle of the store's very own toilet paper aisle which is usually one of the first things that run out!
The manager reports the situation
According to the acting manager by the name of Jessica Hinkle, the woman suddenly told associates who were at the Springfield store on Wednesday afternoon that hew water just broke and that she could not wait any longer and had to go into labor right then and there!
Hinkle expressed her reaction to the situation to a local news station KY3 by saying, "We were like, 'what do we do now?'" continuing with a follow up that "Another lady comes around the corner and she says, 'I'm a labor nurse, can I help?' and we said, 'Yes. Yes, please.'"
The team was set as firefighters rushed towards the scene
Firefighters were the first respondents to the scene while Hinkle was blocking the aisle with merely a sheet in order to give the woman at least a bit of privacy during labor. Once the fire and medical crews arrived in only a short matter of time, the whole team was able to help deliver the baby!
The firefighter's response on the situation
According to Springfield Fire Chief David Pennington's Tweet which was released on Thursday, "Our Firefighters are EMT's and are well trained to handle any EMS call that comes in," which shows just how reliable the firefighters are in other times of need.
A successful delivery
Mr. Pennington was able to put everyone at ease by saying that both the mother and the newly delivered daughter were in fact, "doing very well." Later on Mr. Pennington thanked Fire Lt. Michael Kuss as well as his crew for being able to successfully pull off the emergency delivery.

LT Kuss: "During a time of panic and fear it is incredible to run a call that produces joy and brings new life into the world".
