If you are a mother of a newborn and are in crisis, the Bargersville Community Fire Department offers a last-resort option with Baby Box - a safety device provided under the state’s Safe Haven Law.
We legally permit you to safely, securely and anonymously surrender your newborn if you are unable to care for the child.
Our Safe Haven Baby Box is located at the northwest corner of Station 201 (BCFD Headquarters). It has an exterior door that automatically locks once you place your newborn inside the Baby Box. An interior door allows our first responders to safely secure your child inside the station house.

Mothers: What to Know
The Safe Haven Baby Box at Bargersville Community Fire Department headquarters is where you can anonymously and safely leave an infant you are unable or unwilling to care for him or her.
- The process involves opening the box's secure door, placing the baby inside and then closing the door.
- Once the door is shut, a sensor alerts authorities to retrieve the baby.
- These boxes aim to prevent unsafe abandonment and ensure that infants are placed in proper care, following legal protocols.
