Firefighters on station were notified of the surrendering by the alarms going
off as expected when a baby is surrendered using the box. The on-duty crew
immediately checked on the baby who had been in the box possibly less
than a minute. 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.
