A baby was surrendered at the Safe Haven Baby Box that was installed at a Chattanooga fire station in November 2024.
The Tuesday surrender was the first since the box on Bonny Oaks Drive has been operational, according to a release from the Chattanooga Fire Department.
The baby is healthy, the release said.
The box is meant to allow parents to surrender newborns anonymously, without having to speak to first responders. The box has a sensor that sets off an alarm inside the station to notify firefighters that a baby was surrendered.
