Posted @withregram • @fdny On Friday August 9th, 2024, Lori Traore was home and not feeling well. While taking a shower, Lori felt the urge to push and delivered a baby girl, named Ellen.
Lori had been told she was unable to conceive and did not know she was pregnant. Ellen was delivered unresponsive, and FDNY Engine Company 306 was the first to arrive on scene and cut the umbilical cord. They quickly assessed the baby and determined she was in pediatric cardiac arrest.
EMTs from the Queens Tactical Response Group and a Station 39 Lieutenant arrived and took Baby Ellen to the ambulance and began CPR. Upon arrival of Paramedics from New York Presbyterian Hospital – Queens, Baby Ellen regained her pulse but needed help breathing. Upon arrival at the hospital, Baby Ellen was crying vigorously.
Baby Ellen was discharged from the hospital on December 24th, 2024. She is now starting to sit up and is doing well.

“EMS is a critical service for this city. EMS Week is important to us here. It really is a good bonding moment,” said EMT Santangelo of Station 46.

EMT Sheena Johnson is a dedicated Citywide Dispatcher at PSAC 1, part of the FDNY’s Emergency Medical Dispatch (EMD) division. While PSAC 1 primarily monitors Brooklyn and Staten Island, Sheena plays a vital role overseeing emergency communications across all five boroughs.
With 3.5 years of service in the Department, Sheena’s journey into EMS began after becoming an EMT and working in patient care as a physical therapy aide. “I didn’t have field experience, but I had years of working directly with patients. I always believed I was capable of serving the city in this way—it was a chance I took, and it became a career.”
As a Citywide Dispatcher, Sheena takes great pride in her responsibilities. “This role can get hectic—especially during MCIs and major events. Gathering resources, coordinating response efforts—it’s high pressure, but I feel honored every time I step up and serve. The exposure you get being from this city helps you connect with patients and colleagues, whether you’re saving a life or offering reassurance.”
