This program will allow Fire and EMS to enter a home in the case of a medical emergency.

The Euclid Fire Department’s Fire Prevention Bureau will make lock boxes available to income-qualifying Euclid residents. This program will be in partnership with the City of Euclid’s Division of Community Development through the Department of Planning and Development.
