The St. Stephens Fire Department is proud to endorse The KNOX-BOX Rapid Entry System. The KNOX-BOX Rapid Entry System was specifically developed for the fire department. With one master key kept secure on our fire apparatus, we can gain access to commercial and residential property within our fire district without delay. More than 10,500 fire departments and military installations nationwide use Knox key boxes to gain access to commercial and residential properties within their jurisdictions. 
Property owners in our community store entrance keys, access cards, and floor plans in high-security Knox-Box key boxes mounted near their building entrances. Once the keys are stored inside the Knox-Box, we are able to enter the property should there be a fire, fire alarm, and even medical emergencies. This is only used when the business is closed or no one is home at the residence.
Each Knox-Bo x purchased by the property owner is keyed to a secure single master key controlled by the St. Stephens Fire Department. With the Knox System, there is no cost to the fire department, no waiting for a property owner to unlock the door in the middle of the night for a fire alarm, and no forcing the door open to gain entry should there be signs of fire. The Knox Rapid Entry System reduces response time, property damage, and the liability for lost keys. Knox key boxes are gaining popularity for residential customers as well. For home owners who are out of town on a regular basis, or who have elderly or special needs loved ones living with them. Knox boxes give them piece of mind that fire department personnel can gain access to the residence should an emergency arise.
