Greenacres Fire Rescue Residential Lock Box program allows participants to safely leave a key on their front door in a small, safe-like box that can be accessed with a master key that only firefighters have. That means firefighters can get in quickly after a medical emergency or fall.
To participate, residents order a lock box online at https://roperlock.com/product/greenacres-fire-department/
The boxes cost about $40.50 plus shipping fees.
