KNOX BOXES
![]() |
Do you have a fire alarm system and need to give the fire department access to your building when you're away? Are you concerned about secure access? CHVFD has the answer: a Knox Box.
A Knox Box is purchased and installed next to the building door by the building owner. Residential boxes can be ordered with a door hanger to secure the box to the door when it is closed. Building keys, fire alarm keys, reset instructions, and contact information are locked in the Knox Box. Only the Fire Department has a key to the Knox Box, and that key is secured with an audit trail. You can purchase a Knox Box (residential or commercial) directly from the manufacturer from this website specific to the Cundy's Harbor and Orr's/Bailey Islands Fire Departments: https://www.knoxbox.com/24442. A tamper switch is not necessary unless you intend to have your alarm company connect it to the alarm system. |
