On May 15, 2008, EMT Brent Wooters and EMT-I Kenneth Bullabough were working in the Asheboro area of Randolph County when they were dispatched on a call about a woman in labor. A PTAR unit was dispatched due to the fact that there were no Randolph County EMS units available at the time. The location of the call was north of Randleman, in the vicinity of
NC-Hwy-62.

Shortly after they arrived on the scene in Unit-31, they determined that the patient was about to give birth. They prepared her for transport, loaded her into their ambulance, and began the trip to a hospital.

They didn’t get very far down the road, when it became apparent that they wouldn’t make it to the hospital before the baby arrived. As they traveled down Randleman Road, about one mile south of NC-Hwy-62 in the area of Ritchie’s Motel, they delivered a baby girl in the back of their ambulance.

Afterwards, they continued their journey to the hospital.
