{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Authorities rescued a woman and her newborn baby after her family says she gave birth in a remote national forest in Northern California.
The U.S. Forest Service says it found a mother and an infant Saturday while responding to a brush fire in the Plumas National Forest. Amber Pangborn's mother says her daughter lit the fire Saturday as a call for help.
Pangborn's mother says her daughter gave birth to the baby in the backseat of her car early Thursday after getting lost on a remote forest road and running out of gas. Forest Service officials couldn't immediately confirm that she was stranded for three days.
