(Deming) – The Deming Fire Department is encouraging residents and business owners to consider installing KNOX-BOX safes to allow emergency access.
Emergency responders continually remind residents that seconds count when someone is ill or injured, and valuable time can be wasted trying to gain entry to a locked home or business.
But the KNOX-Box program assures that emergency responders have quick access to reach individuals inside without being slowed by having to force their way into a locked structure.
The KNOX-BOX is described as a secure, hardened steel box mounted on the outside of a home or business. Owners or tenants place an entry key inside the box and secure it.
Since the Deming Fire Department has a master key, fire fighters and emergency medical technicians can open the KNOX-BOX and access an entry key in the case of an emergency.
Home and business owners must register with the KNOX-BOX company to obtain an official KNOX-BOX.
For more information, contact Deming Fire Department Battalion Chief Delbert Rivera at 546-8848.
