Wrongo Dongo!!!  How long you been in the fire service??  6 months???
You going to knock out a window or kick in a door just because a fire 
alarm is going off???

Over 99% of all fire alarms are false alarms.  Unless there is other 
evidence to indicate an actual emergency, I am NOT going to do anywhere 
from a couple of hundred to over a thousand dollars worth of property 
damage just to check out an alarm.

If there is a real emergency, such as fire showing, I am not going to 
worry with the lock box to begin with, I will probably take out a window 
or a door, whichever is faster to gain access and control the situation.
If the building is on fire, the least of anyones worries are a window or 
a door.
