Editor's note: The hospital the mother and daughter were transported to has been changed to reflect accurate information.

Chelsea resident Jocelyn Webber went into labor so suddenly she had no choice but to give birth to her daughter, Aubrey, at home, Chelsea Standard reports.

An emergency dispatch operator talked her husband, Kyle, through the delivery process Feb. 11 after he returned home from work to help his wife. Firefighters from the Chelsea Fire Department raced to the scene, but the husband had delivered the baby girl before they were able to reach house.

Mother and baby were transported by ambulance to the University of Michigan Hospital after Huron Valley Ambulance paramedics pronounced them both as "doing fine."
