A woman brought a newborn girl to a Houston fire station shortly after midnight on Tuesday, Oct. 8, and left.

The firemen at Houston Fire Department’s Station 21 accepted the baby due to the Safe Haven law, KHOU11 reported, which allows parents unable to care for newborns to surrender them at a designated safe site, no questions asked. Locations legally considered safe places to surrender a baby include EMS stations, fire stations, and hospitals.
