Pretty wild! All states give you at least 30 days to dump your baby, no strings attached. Some states give you 60 days!
I feel like more people should know about this! It seems like a highly under utilized ability.

I think most fire departments are volunteer meaning that the stations are vacant unless there’s an active call.

Departments vary. The ones near me are full time paid if you have to be at the station on shift. But there are only a handful of those.
That’s a good point that they exist, but a better way to quantify their prevalence is probably by population served. Even if the majority of fire departments are like that (if…) they would be in the most rural areas with little population. I would think most people live in areas densely populated enough to have an always-staffed fire station.
You would be correct per capita but not geographically! Volunteer/neighborhood fire departments are pretty common outside of major cities, and sometimes supplement professional services within them. They give people a direct way to serve their community and often serve double duty as event centers for birthdays, wedding receptions, potlatch, etc. Huge fan, consider volunteering :)
