Mayor previews Knockbox rapid‑key access program; trustees to hear full presentation in March

Mayor (S1) described a fire‑department proposal to introduce a Knockbox rapid key‑access box on commercial (and optionally residential) buildings so firefighters can enter during emergencies without breaking doors. "What it is, it's a box that's on the outside of a commercial building ... it has the keys in the box. So if something happens, the fire department has access to that box, can open up the doors to the building instead of breaking in the doors," the mayor said.
