Baby Safely Surrendered at TWFD Station 6

A baby was safely and anonymously surrendered on Monday, July 13, 2026, using The Woodlands Township Safe Haven Baby Box located at Fire Station 6, 1100 Windsor Lakes Blvd., in The Woodlands.

The Woodlands Fire Department followed all established Safe Haven Baby Box protocols, and the baby was safely transported to a local hospital for medical evaluation.

The Safe Haven Baby Box, located at The Woodlands Fire Department Station 6, provides a secure, anonymous option for the legal surrender of a baby. When a baby is placed inside the climate-controlled box, a silent alarm immediately alerts firefighters, allowing personnel to respond within minutes while preserving the anonymity of the individual surrendering the child.

"This Safe Haven Baby Box exists for moments exactly like this," said Fire Chief Palmer Buck. "Today, a baby is safe because someone chose a secure and legal option during what was undoubtedly a difficult situation. We are grateful the system worked as intended and that the baby is now receiving the care they need."

The Woodlands Township Board of Directors approved the installation of the Safe Haven Baby Box, which was completed in April 2025, in partnership with Safe Haven Baby Boxes, Inc. The box operates under the Texas Safe Haven Law, providing a legal and anonymous option for the safe surrender of a baby while ensuring the child receives immediate care.

"The Safe Haven Baby Box provides a compassionate option that protects the health and safety of babies while offering hope during a crisis," said The Woodlands Township Chairman Brad Bailey. "We are thankful this baby is safe and commend the Fire Department for its commitment to providing this lifesaving resource to our community."
