PHOENIX (AP) -- The Phoenix Fire Department said Monday it can't account for hundreds of keys for lock boxes that allow firefighters responding to fires or alarms to enter thousands of businesses and apartment complexes when they are closed.

Deputy Chief David Carter blamed poor record keeping over the past 15 years for the missing 850 keys but said there's no indication they have been used for criminal purposes.

And that is why so many businesses resist putting Knox boxes outside their facilities and offices.

And that is why so many businesses resist putting Knox boxes outside their facilities and offices.

We have found that after the 1st automatic alarm to the FD, they are very willing to put them in. Must be because its cheaper than using the other FD keys.

It doesn't specify whether Phoenix is going to upgrade their Knox Box system to the one "both people" have to turn the key.

The dual lock system is designed so 2 different depts. can have their own key to a box they might go to. But only one needs to be used to open it.

Wow! That's a lot of keys to be missing. Maybe Brunacini was giving them out at conventions. You know. Like challenge coins
