The Croton Falls Fire Department encourages building owners to install a KnoxBox, which will help firefighters gain access quickly during an emergency. A KnoxBox keeps property keys in a safe & secure box on your building.

You may be asking how does a KnoxBox work. It’s simple and we'll explain:

1. The fire department is dispatched to your address for an alarm/emergency.
2. Upon request from a firefighter, our dispatch center transmits a radio signal that releases a KnoxBox key that is secured in one of our fire trucks.
3. A firefighter then uses our key to open the KnoxBox on your building and retrieves your property key and opens your door without damage.
4. Firefighting investigation or operations can begin instantly.

If you're still not sure about a KnoxBox, perhaps the following reasons will convince you of the benefits.
