Knox box (emergency key) program

Should an emergency arise in the middle of the night or you aren’t around, you’ll want to ensure that first responders can gain quick access to your home or business.

Fort Ellis Fire/Rescue participates in the Knox Box Rapid Access System. The Knox Box is a high-security key lock box that provides Fort Ellis responders rapid access into your home, business, or property. Removing barriers to entry reduces injuries to responders, minimizes property damage, and could help save a life.

This system is available to all Fort Ellis Fire Service Area residences and businesses. To learn more about how to protect your home or business, visit Knox Box Rapid Access System.

Please place your Knox Box in an area that Fort Ellis responders can easily locate, and be sure to contact us when you receive your Knox Box.
