Tybee Island Fire Rescue has partnered with Knox Box on a system designed to give emergency crews access to properties without a keyholder or property damage.
Residents ordering a Knox Box should select Tybee Island Fire Rescue as their jurisdiction. A City of Tybee spokesperson said the department maintains the keys firefighters use to open lockboxes on the island during emergency calls.
Knox Box units are heavy-duty security boxes mounted outside buildings. The partnership is intended to help first responders reach properties more quickly and safely during emergencies.
