Newly Renovated Norwood Fire Station Morgantown, WV
Alpha recently completed the long-awaited renovation to the 1953 residential portion of Norwood Fire Station.
Our new layout approach allows crew members access to individual bunk areas, all new toilets/shower rooms, a dayroom addition, and with an exercise room relocation, there is additional apparatus storage.
The Safe Haven Baby Box, now located at Norwood Fire Station, is now the 2nd blessed Baby Box in West Virginia and 217th in the Nation.
Safe Haven Baby Boxes are designed to provide a way for babies 30 days old or younger to be surrendered safely & anonymously. The boxes are monitored and climate-controlled 24/7. New mothers can drop their infants in the Safe Haven Baby Box by opening the door and placing the baby inside the bed. They also have an option to take an orange envelope with resources. Once the exterior door is shut, the box will lock, and emergency personnel will be automatically notified.
The installation of this baby box is to assist people who are new parents, and for a variety of stressful reasons, just can’t feel comfortable in bringing the baby into the world and raising the baby themselves. So, in place of being at a loss for options and abandoning the child someplace undesirable, they have the option of doing something that’s safer.
