According to police, a 2-hours-old baby was brought by his mother to a Los Angeles fire station on October 8.
At around 7:30 p.m., the 21-year-old woman, whose identity was not publicly released, surrendered the newborn who appeared to be in a good health to the Los Angeles Fire Department Station 13, reports said.
Within 72 hours of birth, people can bring newborn babies to fire stations or medical facilities without being asked, according to California's Safely Surrendered Baby Law.
In a press conference, LAFD Firefighter David Ortiz said: "We're happy that this child is going to have another opportunity, and perhaps a loving family will adopt this child in the future."
