Rumford Fire Chief Chris Reed told News Center Maine that a new fire station being built downtown is expected to have a baby box. The box would "by all accounts, be the first such installation in Maine," according to the report.
"It's a prime location," Reed said of Rumford, "There's not a lot of services here that would be available to a newborn mother in Rumford.
Reed added that the town has high poverty, drug use, limited family resources, and the Rumford Hospital closed its maternity ward in February last year.
