It's a girl: Fallen firefighter's daughter born
LANCASTER -- Fire officials Friday announced the birth of fallen firefighter Arnaldo Quinones' baby girl, Sophia Grace Quinones.
Quinones, 34, of the Los Angeles County Fire Department died Aug. 30 along with fellow firefighter Capt. Tedmund Hall, 47, when the truck they were driving went off a mountain road while battling the Station Fire.
Quinones' widow, Lori Quinones, gave birth to Sophia Tuesday at Antelope Valley Hospital in Lancaster, Los Angeles County Fire Department officials said in a written statement.
She weighed in at 8 pounds, 2 ounces and was 21 inches long, officials said. Both mother and baby are doing very well.
"At Fire Station 82 in La Canada Flintridge, where Arnie Quinones once worked, there has been an influx of gifts sent in from online baby showers," the statement said.
