Knox-Box Program

The Knox-Box is a secure rapid entry system developed for property owners and fire departments. When there is a medical emergency, when a fire breaks out, or even when there is a false alarm that the Waynesboro Fire Department must investigate, the Knox-Box allows immediate entry into buildings and property without forcible entry damage or delay. Lost time getting needed medical treatment and increased property damage, even total loss, are threats when property is not accessible. With Knox-Box, owners store entrance keys in a high-security container mounted in a known location. Each box within the Waynesboro Fire Department’s district is keyed to a single master key controlled by on-duty career appartus operators (Borough of Waynesboro Employees).

IF YOU TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS SPECIAL OFFER, THE WAYNESBORO FIRE DEPARTMENT WILL:

Deliver, install & register your Knox-Box
Insert your keys and lock the box to insure operation
Pre-plan your property, this plan records vital physical information about your property and allows us to plan our response.
Annual maintenance

Peace of mind
