A reminder to the businesses of East Allen Township
 The East Allen Township Volunteer Fire Department is in the process of checking all Knox Boxes. This is being done to make sure the keys work, and to update the emergency contact information. We are finding many businesses have changed the building keys or locks rendering the emergency key(s) in the Knox Box useless.
- Are the keys in your Knox Box up to date?
- Have you changed the keys or locks?
- If so, the keys in the box must be updated as well.
Township ordinance 2003-4 requires that most businesses and some apartment buildings install and maintain lock boxes. It also requires that the keys be current. If you need to update any of the keys in your Knox Box or if you have any questions, please email knoxbox@eastallenfire.org to make arrangements.
Thanks!
