TOPIC: Emergency Lockbox Program

The Sun City Fire Department has a special lockbox available to residents in our community, which serves as a security box that would be used for an emergency situation where the resident is unable to get to the door to allow personnel in to assist. The box itself is a sturdy steel box that has a locking faceplate on the front of it. This box is mounted to your home site in a specific location so that if a resident has a medical emergency, the fire department could immediately use the keys locked inside of the box rather than causing damage to your home.

Due to every second counting during a medical emergency, it is vital that the fire personnel is able to gain access to the home rather than having to break down a door or try looking for someone with a key. Since emergency situations are not planned for certain times of the day, or when a neighbor is home with a key, the resident can be assured of quick and efficient service with no damage to the home itself.

If you are a resident interested in having a lockbox installed, a copy of your house keys will need to be made in advance (by the resident) before scheduling an appointment. The cost for this device is $50.00 payable to The Sun City Fire Department. Please call (623) 974-2321 during normal business hours (Monday-Friday 8:00am-4:00pm) to schedule an installation appointment.
