Knox Box Program

A Knox Box is a key box located outside of area businesses and holds an emergency key to the building. Only the Fire Department can open the Knox Box to allow Firefighters access to the building during an emergency.  

Any business who has changed locks to their building should contact the Fire Department to ensure that the proper keys are in the Knox Box.  

The Knox Box Program was instituted to help minimize property damage to business properties during an emergency while also helping business owners in maintaining a secure facility.  

Please see the attached Trappe Borough regulation titled: "§ 105-8. Key lock box systems" regarding the installation of Knox Box systems.
