The Visalia Fire Department in Central California is experiencing a baby boom, with 14 babies born to fire personnel over the past year.
In a heartfelt Father’s Day post on Sunday, the department announced the arrival of these new family members, marking the highest number of births among its members in a single year.
“Family is incredibly important to us, and this blessing is a true testament to the joy and strength of our firefighting community,” the department shared on Facebook.
To celebrate, 13 of the new babies posed with their fathers for a touching photograph, which the department featured in its Father’s Day tribute.
“Happy Father’s Day! May you always come home to those precious faces. God bless you and thank you for all you do!” one user commented.
Other Facebook users joined in the celebration, with some making playful remarks about the influx of newborns.
“Wow!! What’s in the water over there??!!” another user joked.
The department also posted additional images and a video of fire personnel with their families to mark the occasion.
“Baby Fever at VFD! From our VFD family to yours, Happy Father’s Day!” the department exclaimed.
