Key Box for Emergency Access

Seconds count in a life-threatening emergency or a fire. To help reduce delays in providing emergency assistance, the Olympia Fire Department has adopted use of the Knox Rapid-Entry System. To obtain information or to complete an application, call (360) 753-8348.

When is a key box required?

The Fire Marshal will determine if a Knox key box is required at the time of construction. If a box is required, the responsible party will be notified of the need to obtain a Knox key box.

Your risk of dying in a home fire is cut by 80% when sprinklers are present. This video from the NFPA tells why home fire sprinklers are a critical in saving lives and property from fire.

Local, national fire experts show need for home fire sprinklers; this video demonstration in Plymouth follows recent deaths of four area residents in house fires.
