Dad delivers baby with help over phone from paramedic

A BABY girl was delivered by her doting dad as he took step-by-step instructions from a firefighter over the phone.

Paramedic Brian Devlin talked the shocked father safely through the birth shortly after his wife went into labour.

The 29-year-old firefighter from Lucan was taking 999 calls at the dispatch centre in Dublin’s Tara Street Fire Station when the man called for an ambulance at around 2am.
