SUMMARY: The Long Beach Fire Department installed a baby box at the city’s fire station as a safe haven for newborns. The community came together on Wednesday for the unveiling and blessing of the baby box. Fire Chief Griff Skellie expressed that it is an honor for the department to be presented with a way to save a child’s life. The firemen were trained and there is a possibility that they could put their own lives in danger to save someone. The baby box was installed by the company’s founder, Monica.

SUMMARY: Despite clear skies and a beautiful sunrise in Gulfport, Mississippi, the cold temperatures remain dangerously low, with some areas experiencing single-digit temperatures. Parker Boyd reports from Jones Park, where the snow-covered landscape gives off a holiday vibe reminiscent of Christmas. While the snow is picturesque, it poses a serious risk due to icy conditions on the roads. Locals, unaccustomed to such weather, are urged to take extra caution when venturing out. The Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT) is working to clear the roads, but travel may still be challenging across the region.

Snow-packed roads across South Mississippi will be icy and dangerous Wednesday.
