California's Safely Surrendered Baby Law allows for an infant, 72 hours old
or younger, to be surrendered at any hospital emergency room in California. The law also gives
County Board of Supervisors the authority to designate additional sites where an infant can be
legally surrendered. The County of Riverside Board of Supervisors has designated fire stations as
Safe Surrender sites. All CAL FIRE, Riverside County full-time staffed,
and most City fire stations in the County are designated as Safe Surrender
sites.
