A California mother was evacuated from the hospital while giving birth Sunday night after smoke from the deadly wildfires outside began flooding into her room.
The wildfires, which have killed 17 people, forced doctors to move Nicole Veum from one hospital to another right after doctors successfully induced labor.
Nicole was immobile because she had received an epidural, and she was given medication that would halt her contractions and forced wait on a gurney for a free ambulance that could transport her.
Finally, hours later, doctors performed a c-section and Nicole’s son Adrian Dodger Veum was born on Monday.
