Couple drops off newborn girl at Chicago-area fire station
Posted December 13, 2019 6:00 am
A newborn girl was dropped off Friday at a suburban Chicago fire station by her parents, officials said.
The girl, a few hours old, was brought to Engine One in Cicero, town spokesman Ray Hanania said. Paramedics and police determined she was in good health, but she was taken to a hospital for further examination.
Hanania said the baby will be turned over Cook County officials.
By state law, parents unable to care for a baby up to 30 days old can surrender it to a hospital, emergency medical care facility, and police and fire stations.
