KNOX BOX PROGRAM

Useppa Fire Rescue is an active participant and supporter of the Knox Box Program.  

The KNOX-BOX® Rapid Entry System was specifically developed for the fire department.

 With one master key, we can gain access to any property on the island. 

Property owners in our community can store entrance keys, access cards and floor plans in high-security Knox-Box® key boxes mounted near the building entrance.

Each KNOX-BOX purchased by the property owner is keyed to a single master key controlled by our department. 

With the Knox System, there is no cost to the fire department, no waiting for a property owner to unlock the door in the middle of the night, and no forcing the door open to gain entry. 

The Knox Rapid Entry System reduces response time, property damage and the liability for lost keys.

1. Eliminate needless, costly forced entry damage that may not be covered by your insurance deductible.
2. Assure immediate building entry by firefighters without delay 
3. Protect from unnecessary water damage caused by delayed sprinkler shut-off.
4. Feel secure about emergency coverage when your building/residence is left unattended. 
5. Protect your property from thousands of dollars in damage with this one-time, investment.
