The Knox-Box® Rapid Entry System is a secure emergency access program developed for property owners and first responders. First Responders across North America use the Knox-Box Rapid Entry System to prevent costly entry damage while protecting property and lives.
These boxes give emergency responders access to business structures that cannot be gained immediately. The emergency responders will be able to use a key to access the secured boxes that businesses will locate outside their establishment for quick entry when a representative is not available to allow access during an undetermined alarm. Many alarms that a department may respond to during the year are not true emergencies but must be investigated when triggered.
The boxes allow entry without having to break down doors for entrance in these situations and having to unnecessarily burden the volunteers with that decision. Both Broughton VFD and Library VFC in South Park Township has the corresponding secure keys to enter these boxes. This Rapid-entry program will be voluntary but highly recommended to businesses in the Township.
The Knox Box Program is also available for Residential Structures as well!
When Prompted, Please select the state of Pennsylvania and the department “Broughton Vol Fire Dept”. This will take you to the correct Knox boxes registered for our township fire departments.
Notice: If you have a Knox box installed, please make sure to notify us by emailing firesafety@broughtonvfd.org
