What must be done with the keys when a Fire Department member arrives?

When a Fire Department member arrives at a scene, it is essential for keys to be labeled and readily available for placement in the Knox-Box. This process ensures that critical access points, such as buildings or secured areas, can be accessed quickly during emergencies. Proper labeling of keys helps in identifying which key belongs to which lock, thereby reducing response time and aiding in a more efficient operation.

Having keys in the Knox-Box allows first responders to access them without delay, eliminating the need to wait for a property owner or representative to arrive on scene. This is crucial during emergencies when every second counts. The emphasis on readiness and organization directly aligns with the Fire Department’s goals of maintaining safety and operational efficiency.
