Scope

Open to all commercial and certain residential citizens who require special considerations.

Purpose

The FFD lock box program is a 100% volunteer program designed to provide emergency access to buildings prior to subscriber arrival. It is the responsibility of the business to keep updated and accurate subscriber information with their respective alarm companies. Businesses must, during every alarm after work hours, have a subscriber respond to the scene in a timely manner. In the event of a false alarm, the business must take note and communicate to their alarm company where the false alarm was to help facilitate, diagnose and fix the reason for the false alarm.

The Fairmount Fire Department reserves the right to deny anyone entry into the program or return any existing business’ key, thus terminating their participation, at any time, for any reason.

Chronic or habitual false alarms or the inability to produce a subscriber in a timely manner are examples of reasons to terminate existing members of the program.

Steps to take

1. Contact Murphy’s Lock & Alarm Company located at 6848 E. Genesee St. at (315) 446-9560. Advise them that you have a business/special consideration residence, inside the Fairmount Fire District in the Town of Camillus, and are in need of a “SUPRA” lock box with the FFD designated lock.
2. When ready, get the box from Murphy’s Lock & Alarm and install it according to manufacturer’s instructions. The box should be placed approximately waist high within six feet of the applicable door within plain sight.
3. Once permanently mounted, contact FFD at (315)487-5811 on a business day between the hours of 9am–2pm to schedule an appointment to secure the key.
4. Once the appointment is made, meet with FFD personnel to lock your key inside the box.
