Baby Box Unveiled at LFD Station 38
December 28, 2023

A Baby Box allows for the legal, safe, and anonymous surrender of an infant provided under the Safe Haven Law. It features three silent alarms alerting first responders to the presence of a surrendered infant. The baby will be attended to within five minutes and taken to the hospital for medical evaluation.
Today, the City of Lawrence Fire Department’s Baby Box was unveiled to the public. This has been in the works for quite some time. Midwest Remediation graciously paid for the cost of the installation of the Baby Box with an anonymous donor providing funding for the Baby Box along with the state. Bobby & Diane Cohron covered additional costs that were not covered by the previous donors.
Dino Batalis, Lawrence Fire Chief stated, “We are excited about having this box in the City of Lawrence, as this is the only box in Lawrence or on this side of Marion County.”
