Mom Thanks GA Firefighters for Singing to Daughter at Crash

A Georgia mom took to her blog to thank Hall County firefighters for singing to her daughter after the two were involved in a serious wreck.

Summer Ginn and her 2-year-old daughter Raelyn were in an SUV when it crossed several lanes and crashed head-on into a tree at a high rate of speed on Oct. 25.

"I heard her crying, so I knew she was alive, but that’s all I knew," Ginn told WSBTV.com.

Raelyn is autistic and her mother was worried Ginn asked firefighters to sing to her daughter to calm her down.

Hall County Firefighters Caleb Rumbaugh and Brian Gregory sang "Wheels On the Bus" as they treated and transported Raelyn to the hospital. 

"I assumed they had given her some medicine, because on the drive to the hospital she was so calm," Ginn said. She later found out the singing calmed her daughter's nerves.

Rumbaugh told his wife, Cory, about the accident and Cory reached out to Ginn saying: "He came home the following morning, after working another 48-hour shift, and the first thing he said to me was 'I got to sing to a little girl."

Ginn wrote on her blog: "Thank you for giving me those brief moments of hope while she was content and quiet. By keeping her calm, you kept me sane (relatively). You made the most traumatic experience of my life sting a little bit less. Our car wreck was just another day on the job for you, but you left a lasting impression on me and I will never forget what you did for us that day."
