Fire baby miracle
Published: October 26, 2007
At just five hours old, baby Murillo takes her family on the journey of a lifetime.
Overdue with her third baby, Beatrice Murillo, her husband, two little girls, and the baby’s grandparents saw the smoke and flames racing toward their home late Sunday night.
The baby’s grandfather, Cerilo Murillo, recalls telling his family “I want to stay there, because in the past with other fires, we’re okay.”
Not this time.
The fire chased them out all the way to this evacuation center, where she was separated from her family.
Cerilo said “she was scared, a strange color in her face.”
She was in labor.
The baby’s grandmother, Beatrice, said “she was in labor they took her away to the hospital.”
Fire blocked her path again.
She ended up at Qualcomm Stadium’s evacuation center.
Her worried family couldn’t find her for days.
KNSD-TV stepped in, searching hospitals, evacuee centers. Finally, just two hours before the baby’s birth, KNSD-TV found her here at mary birch hospital.
The reunion was sweet but not complete.
Cerilo Murillo said “the other thing is to know how my house is, I’m still worried.”
Worried that their home may end like their neighbors, destroyed by the fires.
Would their newborn still have a home?
Was it the lucky space 45? Not sure, we took pictures.
Cerilo said “this is our trailer. It’s still there.”
Another miracle for the Murillos.
