Kyle Frederick, Michael Irvine and Kyle Dean are three firefighters who work in the same station. They knew that their wives were regarding to give birth, but did not imagine that it would happen on the same day, as relayed by our colleagues from The Washington Post newspaper, in an article published on March 30, 2022.
An astonishing coincidence

Jamie Frederick is the second mother to have given birth but by cesarean section. She had to have this operation three weeks before the due date when her doctor noticed that the baby was in the breech position.

About four hours later, Dean and Andrea Nunley welcomed their first child.
It didn’t take long before the entire hospital named the three dads “the fantastic three.” The colleagues hope that their children will one day be able to become friends, hang out with each other and, why not, share a passion for the same profession.

The men did not think that news of the birth of their babies would spread beyond the barracks. A local television station contacted them a month later to ask them to share their story. “People are looking for news that makes them feel good right now,” Frederick said. “We are all happy to cheer them up a little. »
