Sun City residents can avoid property damage to their home with a fire department lock box if they have a medical emergency. Volunteers with the Sun City Fire and Medical Department’s Lock Box program installed thousands of emergency medical lock boxes on homes in Sun City and more are available.
“In all the years we have been offering this program, you would think we would have installed one at every home,” said Jim Fox, Sun City fire inspector. “But we still have homes that do not have them.” These access boxes are adjacent to the front entry door with a front door key inside. This allows Sun City Fire and Medical Department personnel to enter the residence in an emergency and the occupant is incapacitated, avoiding a forced entry situation resulting in property damage.
