In response to several incidents that have occurred in our city and at the request of many Federal Heights residents, the Federal Heights Fire Department has developed a Residential and Business Lock Box Program to benefit our citizens.

This program provides for the placement of a sturdy, safe, secure lock box containing an access key that can be placed on the outside of your home or business. The box can only be opened by authorized Fire Department personnel. In an emergency the lock box key can be quickly accessed by emergency responders to gain access to the home without causing damage to doors or windows.

The Federal Heights Fire Department Residential and Business Lock Box Program is modeled after a similar highly successful program that was designed for businesses only that has been in use for many years throughout the United States.

While useful to all families, the residential program is especially beneficial to the elderly and to persons with medical disabilities or other health problems. In cases where the resident is injured or is too ill to respond to the door to admit emergency responders, the Fire Department can easily access the lock box placed conveniently on the outside of the home and use the keys inside it to gain quick access to the victim.
