Knox Box
 
 
The Tyler Mt Vol. Fire Department has started a new system for local business owners.  The Knox Box is a small metal box that attaches to the outside of your business.  It is very secure and impossible to break into.  Inside this box a business owner places a door key. This box is set up to open with a key that is only carried by the Tyler Mt Vol. Fire Department.  Why? This gives us the ability to enter the business when the fire alarm is going off without having to wait for the key holder. 
Who makes the money off the box?  The charge for purchasing a Knox Box is 250 dollars.  This is the wholesale price of the box paid directly to the Knox company.   The fire Department does not receive any money or “Kick Backs”.  What it costs us it costs you.  Why have this box? By having a Knox Box it allows us to enter your business with no destruction necessary.  For example, you have a light fixture smoking and it sets off the fire alarm.  The Fire Department receives the alarm and respond to find light smoke inside your business.  If you have a Knox Box we could take our key and enter the building fix the problem with no damage to your building or front door.  We feel that this system saves every not only money but a huge amount of time.
