Knox-Box Allows Fire Department Emergency Access to Your Business or Home. Madison Hose Company # 1 encourages the use of a Knox-Box for our local homeowners and businesses. This system provides the quickest and most secure method of access to your home or business during an emergency when there is no access inside and we must force entry.

How the Knox System Works
 It's 3:00 am. The fire alarm in your building has activated and Madison Hose Company # 1 responds. Rather than forcing open or breaking down the door, firefighters open the KNOX-BOX, remove entrance keys, and immediately enter your facility. Eliminating forced entry means no property damage and no replacement costs for broken windows or doors or damaged locks. You arrive knowing that you or your representative did not have to get there before
firefighters forced entry into your building. Quick access may also result in reduced damage by smoke, fire and water to your property. Once the fire department is ready to leave, they relock the door and replace your key inside the secure KNOX-BOX.
The minimal expenditure to install a KNOX-BOX has allowed you, the building owner, to satisfy local fire codes and ordinances. But most importantly, KNOX-BOX protection is providing peace of mind that your building is safe.KNOX-BOX can also be attached to your home or to a loved one's who may need assistance due to age or medical condition. This allows quick access by EMT's to administer care if your family member should be sick or injured and cannot answer the door and are home alone.
