In a group interview with WJLA, Dean said that the group knew they'd be welcoming their baby boys at the hospital "a few weeks" ahead of time.

"We were all together at work and talked about it and how crazy it would be," he said. "Once I found out I actually told the nurses. Just a heads up -- two of my guys are coming as well and we ended up with the nickname from the nursing staff as the fab three!"

As for what the future may hold for the newborns, Frederick predicted there would be plenty of time for their kids to bond — and document their growth.

"We'll get together to do the milestone pictures of all three of them together," he said. "Maybe one day we'll get them up to the firehouse and do a group photo there, too."
