CVFD has a lockbox program. Lockboxes are hardened steel vaults mounted on the exterior of buildings. This lockbox stores keys to the building for Fire Department access to unattended buildings after hours. The lockbox greatly diminishes damage to buildings from forcible entry.
Approved Product

The Knox-Box is UL listed to be tamper resistant and provides an audit trail that tracks access to the lockbox.
How Does It Work?
A building owner installs, or arranges for installation of a Knox-Box on the exterior of the building at the main entrance point. Entry to the Knox-Box requires the insertion of a specialized key. Only the Cornwall Fire Department will have access to the Knox-Box lockboxes.
