Knox-Box
Program
Offering
Peace Of
Mind for the
Community
and
Firefighters
The goal of
the HCVFEMSA
is to
provide the
best and
most
up-to-date
service to
the people
in our fire
protection
area. In
contrast,
maintaining
keys to
alarmed
buildings/residences
has become
unmanageable
and is
causing
delays when
responding
to
emergencies.
In order to
access
buildings
quickly,
minimize
forced entry
damage, and
protect
firefighters
from injury,
the Harford
County Fire
Departments
have adopted
the Knox-Box
Rapid Entry
System.
Currently,
more than
seven
thousand
fire
departments
and the
communities
they protect
enjoy the
benefits of
this proven
system.
Knox-Boxes
are
constructed
of ¼" solid
steel with a
½" steel
door and
reinforced
locking
mechanism.
They are UL
listed
against
physical
attack and
Medeco
security
lock is
patented and
UL listed
for drill,
pick and
pull
resistance.
The master
key to open
the Knox-Box
is held ONLY
by your
local
Harford
County
Volunteer
Fire
Department.
This high
security key
is strictly
controlled
and is
produced
ONLY by the
Medeco
factory
under
direction
from an
authorized
fire
official's
signature.
Knox-Boxes
are
specified by
the Harford
County
Volunteer
Fire
Departments
but are
purchased
directly
from the
Knox
Company.
Once
installed
near the
entrance to
your
property,
the
department
locks your
building
entrance key
inside the
Knox-Box so
that it is
available
onsite for
future
emergencies.
If you have
any further
questions
feel free to
call the
Knox Company
at
800-552-5669
or you can
visit the
Knox website
at
www.knoxbox.com.
Otherwise,
please call
your local
Harford
County
Volunteer
Fire
Department
to obtain an
order form
and
installation
instructions.

building/residence
is left
unattended.
