Safe Haven Baby Boxes now in place at three San Antonio fire stations

Three years after the San Antonio City Council approved funding, the city now officially has Safe Haven Baby Boxes in place and ready at three fire stations. A ceremony to bless the boxes was held Tuesday morning at Fire Station 7 on South St. Mary’s Street in downtown. The other boxes are located at Fire Station 18 on South W.W. White Road on the East Side and at Fire Station 24 on Austin Highway on the city’s Northeast Side. The climate-controlled boxes or bassinets inside are connected to an electric alarm that alert emergency dispatch, as well as the firefighters inside the fire station.
