Lock boxes are a great way to provide Duxbury Fire Department access to your home or business in an emergency and help prevent forcible entry. A lock box is a secure box near your front door that contains a key to your business or home. Only the Duxbury Fire Department personnel will have access to the lock box.

Eligible Residents Lock Box Program
The Duxbury Fire Department has teamed up with the Duxbury Rotary Club to provide 100 lockboxes free of charge to qualifying residents, making it easier for emergency responders to gain access in an emergency and giving residents and their families peace of mind.
The boxes will be offered to residents who are 65 and older or who have a disability or chronic health condition that impedes them from allowing access to their home in an emergency.
The program is for single-family residential properties only, and tenants seeking to place a box on a rental property must have permission from the owner. Those eligible for the program can obtain an application at The Center or the Central Fire Station during business hours (Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.) or by calling the Fire Station’s administrative number (781-934-5963). Applications will be granted on a first-come, first-served basis.
Once the application is approved, fire department personnel will install the lockbox and the homeowner will provide the key that goes inside it.
