Important Keys Missing

Select Board member and former Fire Chief Doug Field expressed concern at last night’s meeting that two important keys have gone missing. The keys fit the town’s Knox Boxes.

According to Wikipedia, a Knox Box is “a small, wall-mounted safe that holds building keys for firefighters and EMTs to retrieve in emergencies.” The boxes are mounted on the outside of a home or place of business. All of the town’s Knox Boxes can be opened by a single master key in the possession of the Fire Department.

Field reported that, some years ago, then Police Chief John Svoboda asked for two copies of the master key for use by the Police Department. Field reported that those keys are now unaccounted for.

Police Liaison Dave DeHerdt said he will ask Chief Cotton to track down the keys. Field said that, if the keys are not located, the town will have to change the Knox Box locks.
