Officials said the box provides a secure, anonymous option for the legal surrender of a baby. Once the baby is placed inside, a silent alarm alerts firefighters, and personnel respond within minutes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">The baby was safely taken to a nearby hospital for medical evaluation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC eTIW sUzSN \">&#8220;This Safe Haven Baby Box exists for moments exactly like this,&#8221; Fire Chief Palmer Buck said in a release. &#8220;We are grateful the system worked as intended and that the baby is now receiving the care they need.&#8221;<br class=\" \"\/><\/p>\n<p>Copyright \u00a9 2026 KTRK-TV.
