Deerfield Township, Ohio<\/strong><\/em> \u2013 The Deerfield Township Board of Trustees and Deerfield Township Fire Rescue Department dedicated a \u201cstate-of-the-art\u201d baby box at Fire Rescue Station 57 (3435 US Route 22) on March 19.<\/p>\n\n\n

The baby box provides an anonymous alternative for individuals who make the difficult decision to surrender an infant. The box is designed with safety features and installed on an exterior wall of the fire station. The exterior door locks automatically when a newborn is placed inside, and an interior door allows medical personnel to promptly and securely retrieve the baby, ensuring immediate care and protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Monica Kelsey with Safe Haven Baby Box, the new baby box would not have been possible without the support of the Deerfield Township Trustees, especially Trustee Lelle Lutts Hedding. Kelsey says, \u201cWe would like to thank the Deerfield Township Board of Trustees and Deerfield Township Fire Rescue for bringing this important initiative to their community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
