A blessing for our community. A promise of safety for every child.

On March 24, 2026 at 1:00 PM, we will gather at Canal Street Fire Station (Station 61) for the official blessing and dedication of our Safe Haven Baby Box.

This life-saving resource provides a safe, anonymous option for parents in crisis — ensuring that every child has a chance at life and a future filled with hope.

This project is the result of true community partnership. I’m especially grateful to the Leesburg Sunrise Rotary, whose initiative and leadership helped bring this vision to life. Their heart for service, along with the dedication of our City of Leesburg team, our Fire Department, community partners, and generous supporters, made this possible.

Please join us as we mark this important and meaningful moment for Leesburg.

Last night at approximately 6:00 p.m., LFD units responded to a motor vehicle accident in the area of South Street. Engine 64 arrived on scene first and confirmed one vehicle on its side with one patient entrapped. Engine 61 and Ladder 63 arrived shortly after.

Engines 61 and 64 worked together to stabilize the vehicle and extricate the patient. Ladder 63 assumed incident command. The patient was transported as a trauma alert in stable condition.

The cause of the crash is under investigation by the Florida Highway Patrol
