The Iuka Fire Department delivered what appeared to be a healthy baby boy at an Iuka home where a visitor had gone into labor.
Fire Chief Kenny Eagan says the mother and baby boy were later taken by United Medical Response to Good Samaritan Hospital in Mt. Vernon.
Firemen were called to the home on Camp Street around 6:15 Monday night and immediately began work on the delivery.
The name of the mother and her newborn boy have not been released.
