Residential Knox Box loaner program
Overview
When Edgerton-Trimble Fire Protection District is called upon to help during emergencies, our mission is clear: we reach those in need, as quickly and safely as possible.
However, sometimes we must overcome barriers. Locked doors are often one of those barriers when residents cannot reach them due to their conditions. Our Residential Knox Box Program is designed to give residents a backup plan to make their homes accessible to Firefighters and Paramedics during an emergency. Qualifying residents can receive a lock box at no cost. Inside, a spare house key can be stored for access by the Firefighters during emergencies. Once approved for the program, Fire Department personnel will install the box for you at your home.
