The East Allen Township Volunteer Fire Department is unwavering in its commitment to providing the absolute best and most cutting-edge services to the people within our fire protection area. However, as technology advances, the traditional method of maintaining keys to commerical occupancies has become increasingly impractical, causing unfortunate delays in our emergency responses.

To address this challenge and ensure swift access to buildings, minimize forced entry damage, and protect the safety of our firefighters, the East Allen Township Volunteer Fire Department has enthusiastically adopted the Knox-Box Rapid Entry System.
Here are several compelling reasons behind our adoption of this innovative system and how it benefits not only our Law Enforcement agencies but also our local Emergency Services:
-
Rapid Response: In scenarios where alarms (fire, water flow, burglary) are triggered in unoccupied premises, time becomes of the essence. Waiting for a remote key holder, who might not be nearby, can significantly delay response efforts. The Knox-Box allows authorized personnel, such as Law Enforcement and Emergency Services, to swiftly gain entry and address the situation promptly.
-
Secure Storage: The Knox-Box offers a secure repository for essential items like master keys, access cards, alarm panel keys, elevator mechanical room keys, and contact information. This central hub expedites the resolution of various emergencies and situations.
-
Authorized Access: The Knox-Box is designed to be opened only by authorized Law Enforcement or Emergency Services Personnel, ensuring the security of its contents.
