Knox-Box Rapid Entry Program
The Murrysville Fire Company participates in a Knox Box program of which
businesses and even residents can purchase key vaults that only the
Fire Company has access to, with a specially designed key.
The benefits of this program are as follows:
- Decreases response time by eliminating the need to wait for a "key holder" for your property.
- Reduces the potential for property damage by providing a key to unlock doors and gain access to secured areas. Think of the cost of replacing your door if the fire company must force entry.
- Eliminates the need for the property owners or the "key holders" to respond at inconvenient times.
- Only approved Fire Company personnel have access to the Master Key that opens the Knox Box key vault located on your property. The Fire Company Master Key is kept in a Keyscure Vault mounted on the fire apparatus that tracks the date, time and person who removes the Master Key.
- The Keyscure Vault that is mounted on your building can be securely mounted in masonary work, making it more secure than the doors on the building.
For any commercial structure located in Murrysville, there are regulations in place
to have a Knox Box on location set by the Murrysville Code Enforcement Office.
Please contact them for details specific to your situation.
The Murrysville Code Enforcement Office is responsible for assiting with anyone or business interested in joining in the Knox Box program.
Follow these five easy steps to obtain the box that best fits your business or home.
