KnoxBox: Rapid Access for Emergencies

Save Your Door, Save Precious Time

Picture this: You're having a medical emergency, but your doors are locked. Our EMTs arrive to help, but they can't get inside. Every second counts, but we're stuck breaking down your door or searching for another way in.

KnoxBox changes everything.

What is a KnoxBox?

A KnoxBox is a high-security key safe that mounts outside your home or business. Only Orcas Island Fire & Rescue has the special key to open it. Inside, you store your house key.

When emergencies happen:

  • We arrive and immediately access your KnoxBox

  • Retrieve your key in seconds

  • Enter your property without damage

  • Focus on helping you, not breaking down barriers

Why You Need One

Faster response means better outcomes in medical emergencies, fires, and other crises where every second matters.

No property damage - we don't have to break windows, force doors, or damage locks

Peace of mind for you and your family, especially if you:

  • Live alone

  • Have medical conditions

  • Are elderly or mobility-impaired

  • Travel frequently

  • Want maximum protection for your property

Built Tough for Island Life

KnoxBox products are:

  • UL listed for security

  • Weather-resistant for Pacific Northwest conditions

  • Vandal-resistant with hardened steel construction

  • Specifically keyed for OIFR access only

Your key stays secure - we can't stress this enough. These aren't your typical lockboxes.
