When the mother's water broke Saturday while she was shopping for shoes at a Coral Springs mall, firefighters rushed her to a hospital and into the elevator, the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reported Sunday.

But when the doors closed, the baby started coming out and by the time the elevator reached the second-floor delivery ward, she was almost born, the Sun-Sentinel said.

Mother and daughter were reported in good condition after firefighters finished the delivery and handed both over to hospital personnel, said Mike Matonak, one of the firefighters.

"I guess I could call it a special delivery," Matonak told WFOR-TV.
