Knox Rapid Access System
The Knox Rapid Access System is a secure emergency access program developed for property owners and fire departments. When a fire breaks out, or there is any emergency, the Knox system allows firefighters and paramedics immediate entry into buildings and property without forced entry, damage or delay. Each local Knox system purchased by a property owner is keyed to a master key controlled by the Shelby Township Fire Department.
The Shelby Township Fire Department requires a locking Knox key box on all commercial property as defined by the Fire Code Official, or where
immediate access is necessary for life-saving or firefighting purposes per the 2015 International Fire Protection District, Section 506.1 as
amended.
The Knox system for residential property owners is for at-risk residential occupants, and persons responsible for at-risk occupants who need the ability to grant fire department access to residential property in an emergency without property damage.
