Knox Box

The Valhalla Fire Department strongly encourages the use of a Knox-Box for our residential and business owners in our district. This system provides the safest and quickest way the fire department can gain access to the building during an emergency event.

A Knox Box, known officially as the KNOX-BOX Rapid Entry System is a small, wall-mounted safe that holds building keys for firefighters and EMTs to retrieve in emergencies. Local fire companies can hold master keys to all such boxes in their response area, so that they can quickly enter a building without having to force entry or find individual keys held in deposit at the station.

Knox boxes shall be installed preferably at the main entrance, and at a location and height that allow them to be readily accessible. Circumstances such as the size of the property, nature of any hazards, etc., may warrant the need for additional boxes to be located on the same property.

A “set” of keys could be one master key to all entrance doors and interior rooms. If no master key is available, then each set should include building entrance key(s), keys to special use rooms such as electrical/mechanical rooms, fire alarm control panel room, fire sprinkler riser room, elevator equipment room, rooms that may contain hazardous material storage, etc. If the building has an elevator, each set should also include an elevator key.

For any additional information on ordering a Knox-Box system please contact us at Valhallafd@optonline.net

Last night Valhalla FAST assisted Thornwood Fire Department at the scene of a structure fire. The address of the fire was 883 Franklin Ave. A crew from Valhalla was put to work and helped extinguish the fire and check for extension. Crews from multiple fire departments including The Chappaqua Fire Department, Pleasantville Volunteer Fire Department, Hawthorne Fire Department, Briarcliff Manor Fire Department, and Ossining Fire Department quickly knocked the exterior fire down with just minor extension into the house. Pleasantville Volunteer Ambulance Corps provided rehab for the firefighters. ... See MoreSee Less
