RACINE, Wis. (CBS 58) -- For the first time in Wisconsin history, a baby was dropped off at a Safe Haven Baby Box in Racine.

"We were just in total shock and awe," said Marco Ostricki, a firefighter with the Racine Fire Department.

What started off as a typical day at Racine Fire Department Station 4 turned into a life-changing one for a small baby girl.

"I kind of froze for a split second, because I had to take in what was going on," said Ostricki.

Ostricki was on duty at the firehouse on Oct. 16 when he saw someone approach their Safe Haven Baby Box just after noon.

“I look out the window, and I see someone walking towards the box. Initially, I didn’t really think of anything of it, but then I saw the outside door to the box open and knew this is a big thing happening."
