Assistance in Making Key Box Arrangements

The Fire Prevention Section can assist homeowners in arranging the purchase of 'Knox Box' containers that can be mounted to structures to provide a key for emergency services personnel to enter homes without causing damage. Applications are taken by the City, along with payments, and forwarded to the company that provides the boxes. The boxes are then shipped directly to customers. For information call 321-608-7910.
