This is the heartwarming moment firefighters delivered a gift to a baby born during torrential floods in Spain.

Footage shows the Aragon emergency team surprising the mother, Aylen, with a bouquet and stuffed toy animal for her newborn son Lucas, in the town of Catarroja in Valencia City, on November 21.

Aylen had given birth around two weeks ago, while the neighbourhood was submerged in a devastating deluge. The grateful mum thanked the firefighters, who had helped her safely deliver the boy during the disaster.

Torrential rains battered Valencia, Spain in late October. The ensuing floods resulted in more than 200 deaths, with several still missing, after the intense downpours overwhelmed riverbanks, damaged infrastructure, and forced thousands to evacuate.

The freak weather was said to be caused by a phenomenon locally referred to as 'Depresión Aislada en Niveles Altos' or DANA - an air mass that is colder than its surroundings at higher levels. The temperature difference creates an unstable atmosphere that triggers heavy rainfall in a very short period.
