When Liz Nagoda went into labor at her Pennsylvania home, her husband, Joe, called 911 because there was no time for an ambulance.
Rachel Kuras Nolf was on the other end of the line.
"He put the phone on speaker and sat it down next to us," Liz told TribLIVE.
"I was panicking because I didn't know what to do. I didn't want to do anything wrong, but there was no stopping her," Joe Nagoda told TribLIVE.
Kuras Nolf gave the couple instructions on how to deliver the baby on their bedroom floor, and 12 minutes later their third child, Lainey, was born.
"That's what I was waiting for, to hear the crying," Nolf told TribLIVE.
The family came face-to-face with Kuras Nolf for the first time this week and thanked her as she held Lainey for the first time.
Kuras Nolf was honored last week by department officials.
