The roads to South Buffalo Mercy Hospital were impassable Tuesday night due to feet of snow falling from a persistent lake effect snow band, but that wouldn't stop little Lucy Grace Hojnacki.

First responders couldn't get her mom to the hospital, so they brought her to Buffalo Fire Department Engine 4's firehouse. Lucy Grace was born there and then later she and her mom were bundled up and taken to the hospital.

Both are said to be doing well. Benjamin Miller shared these photos with 7 Eyewitness News.
