Knox Rapid Box

The Knox System allows firefighters immediate access to locked buildings, storage rooms, elevators, and other secured areas without causing property damage from forced entry procedures. The Knox Box is purchased by the property owner and mounted near a building entrance. The box contains keys, electronic access cards, floor plans, Haz-Mat data and other vital building information firefighters will need when responding to an alarm. Firefighters control the master key giving them immediate access to handle any emergency at any time.

In order to secure the emergency access of properties, the Fire Marshal's office encourages business owners to purchase Knox Rapid Entry system products in order to provide access during non-business hours in the event of an emergency.

An application can be obtained through Georgetown Fire Administration, located at 103 West 9th St., if you have questions please call 512/930-FIRE (3473).
