On a Saturday afternoon in May, Tim Jaccard received a desperate telephone call: a woman had just given birth to a baby in the front seat of her car. A baby she didn’t want. Now, she needed help.
“I walked her through tying off the umbilical cord,” explains Jaccard, a former paramedic. “But she didn’t want to go the hospital because she was afraid she would be seen, so she agreed to go a firehouse nearby.”
