Cobb County's Station 21 crew had just been certified in pet care when a veterinary clinic called for help with an emergency C-section. The firefighters cleared the newborns' airways, gave medications, and moved the puppies into incubators. Fifteen puppies were delivered on that shift.
The training was new. The clinic asked for help because the birth could not wait. The report is about that call, not a claim that every firefighter in the county now delivers litters.
