Three firefighters from Fort Belvoir Fire and Emergency Services at Fort Belvoir Army Base in Virginia welcomed new babies at the same hospital within a 24-hour period.

The dads — Kyle Dean, Kyle Frederick and Michael Irvine — said they had joked in the weeks before the births about what it would be like if the three babies ended up sharing a birthday.

The men said they were pleasantly surprised to learn their wives were all in labor at the same time.
