Why is a Fire Department Key Box required?

They are required for quick and easy access for the Emergency Responders as it gives them access to secure or locker areas without the need to do property damage. The building code and fire safety regulations require the installation of fire department key boxes, particularly in commercial, multi-family, or high-rise buildings.

Where are FD Key Boxes required?

Fire department key boxes (also known as fire department key safes or knox boxes) are essential safety devices that provide emergency responders with quick, secure access to a building during a fire or other emergency.

These keyboxes are typically mounted on the exterior of a building and contain keys to entry points, such as doors, gates, and mechanical rooms, along with access to fire control systems.

Installation

Quick and Easy Access for Emergency Responders

In the event of a fire or emergency, time is critical. Fire department keyboxes allow emergency responders to access keys to the building quickly without having to wait for someone with the keys to arrive. This ensures that first responders can immediately enter the building to assess the situation, locate the fire, and take appropriate action.

Access to Secure or Locked Areas

Buildings may have areas that are locked or secured for safety, such as mechanical rooms, electrical panels, or fire control systems. In an emergency, first responders may need access to these areas to shut off utilities, operate fire suppression systems, or perform rescue operations.

Prevents Forced Entry and Property Damage

Without a keybox, emergency responders may be forced to break down doors, windows, or other barriers to gain access to a building, leading to unnecessary property damage. A fire department keybox eliminates this need, allowing firefighters to access the building safely without causing damage to the structure.

Compliance with Fire Safety Regulations

The building code and fire safety regulations require the installation of fire department keyboxes, particularly in commercial, multi-family, or high-rise buildings.
