As more people choose to stay in their own homes rather than move to assisted living, quick access during a medical emergency can become a real challenge, especially for individuals with medical or mobility limitations. If you're unable to get to the door, a Knox Box allows first responders to safely retrieve a key stored inside using a specialized master key, so they can let themselves in and reach you quickly.

We direct individuals to Knox's website for information about residential, business, and gate Knox Box options, so you can find the right product for your property.

Once your Knox Box is ordered and installed, please contact us 253-851-3111. A member of our Prevention Division will come out to set up secure emergency access for our crews.

Benefits:

• Helps responders enter your home, business, or gated property quickly in an emergency
• Reduces the need for forced entry and related property damage
• Makes it easy to re-secure your property afterward
• One-time purchase with no monthly monitoring fees

Ideal for:

• Individuals with a history of medical problems
• Individuals recovering from a hospital stay
• Individuals living alone
• Individuals using an electronic medical alert or calling service
• Businesses and commercial properties
• Gated properties with restricted access

How to Get One

Gig Harbor Fire & Medic One is already pre-populated in Knox's ordering system, so when you order a box, Knox will automatically send you the correct box that works with our department's specific key.

Once your box arrives, contact our department and a member of our Prevention Division will come out to open the box and help you place a key inside. After that, our crews will be able to access your key through the Knox Box during an emergency.
