It was every parent’s worst nightmare. They found their two-month-old baby not breathing in the middle of the night. 911 Dispatcher Marissa Manalo said a quick prayer and asked for the strength to help this young life. (1 of 5)

This was Linda’s second post-birth assist in 17 years. 911 dispatchers receive a stork pin when they help deliver a baby from start to finish. Linda is still waiting on that stork pin, but we know mother & baby will be in good hands when it finally happens. (3 of 3)

Linda calmly guided the doula through the afterbirth procedures & talked them through tying off the umbilical cord until medics arrived. As a veteran dispatcher & mother of two, Linda knows how exciting & stressful labor can be, especially when the unexpected happens. (2 of 3)

“Just hang on, we’re gonna help her,” assured San Francisco 911 Dispatcher Linda Roberts. Recently, a family & their doula called 911 when their baby girl was born at home BEFORE they could get to the hospital. (1 of 3)

The water may look calm but remember that riptides and sneaker waves can make our beaches dangerous places to swim. We recommend staying out of the water, especially on crowded days. For other ways to beat the heat, visit https://t.co/oFXYXRXkPD @SF_emergency
