Hundreds of members of the New York Army National Guard have been deployed to Western New York to help in the relief efforts from the historic winter storm.
"The initial team that came out here was on Christmas Eve," Major Gary Barney said."They got the building set up, started setting up our facilities, making sure we had personnel on the ground and all of our equipment ramped up."
Ian Sinclair and Kevin Au are with the 107th Air National Guard and say it has been a very busy several days. "Members of our team showed up and actually assisted in the birth of the child," said Sinclair"She needed to go to the hospital immediately so we were able to contact the plow services to get there and clear the roadways. The baby is a baby girl, she was born healthy. Baby and mother are at Children's Hospital safely."
