An infant was surrendered to a Safe Haven Baby Box at an Indiana fire station, just four months after the box was installed.
“Firefighters provided basic EMS care and comfort to the baby until paramedics arrived on scene and transported the baby to the hospital for further evaluation,” Allen said in a statement.
Each Safe Haven Baby Box has a heater, a cooling unit, and alarm-activated, according to founder Monica Kelsey. A silent alarm alerts firefighters if a baby is in the box 60 seconds after the baby is placed inside.Kelsey, who was abandoned as an infant and later adopted, founded the organization in 2015 to educate and advocate for safe haven laws and baby boxes across the country, according to the report.
