If you think security work is boring, mostly consisting of napping while you wait for your shift to end, think again.

Two security guards, Shawn Hamilton and Tyler Nagel, were confronted with an emergency baby delivery.

On Jan. 9, the two of them were sitting in their office in Norseman Manor, located on 52 Avenue, when someone arrived at their door, telling them that their friend was in labour, and directed them to an apartment.

You can only imagine their surprise when they arrived at the scene where Sandra Drybones, in fact, was halfway through delivering her baby with no midwives or medical professionals on site.

For half a second, Hamilton said that his brain wanted to shut down.

Nagel asked Hamilton if he had ever delivered a baby before to which he replied, SA国际影视传媒淣o, but we canSA国际影视传媒檛 just leave it there.SA国际影视传媒�

Hamilton said that he had first-aid training but there was nothing that could have prepared him for that situation.

SA国际影视传媒淎ll that came to my head was the importance of cleanliness in this kind of situation,SA国际影视传媒� he recalled.

Hamilton and Nagel washed their hands, gathered clean towels, and got to work.

Hamilton placed the baby into his hands with the towels and spoke to Drybones to keep her calm.

Five minutes after their arrival on scene, the baby was delivered.

He made sure that the baby was OK and helped Drybones to stay relaxed until EMS arrived. He left the umbilical cord attached.

Anna Drybones was born weighing 5.25 pounds.

She was born prematurely, which is why the birth came as such a surprise.

Hamilton said that Sandra was a champion through the whole ordeal.

SA国际影视传媒淲hile giving birth, she was having a normal conversation with us between the screams of labour.

Hamilton said that he went into shock afterwards, believing the incident to have just been a dream until he saw the blood on his hands.

Tyler Argue, Risk ControlSA国际影视传媒檚 vice president of business operations, said that residents of Norseman Manor started realising that security with go beyond their normal roles to help people, which is why they are being contacted by residents like the DrybonesSA国际影视传媒� family.

SA国际影视传媒淎s a risk management firm local to Yellowknife, we are extremely proud to celebrate the successes of our team and highlight those positive public interactions where we feel our officers went above and beyond the typical role of security,SA国际影视传媒� he said. SA国际影视传媒淭hough most security officers are trained in standard first-aid and CPR, not everyone would be comfortable in this particularly stressful situation.

SA国际影视传媒淲e also want to congratulate Sandra Drybones on the birth of her new baby and welcome Anna into the world!SA国际影视传媒�
