Jerome Township / MillCreek Township Businesses that have a monitored fire alarm system are required to have a Knox Box secure entry system in place. Knox Boxes are small metal boxes that are attached to the exterior of a business that allow firefighters a secure way to enter a facility 24 hours / day.

The boxes are mounted in close proximity to an entrance where first responders can access it. The keys to the Knox Boxes are mounted to each township fire vehicle in a locked box on each vehicle.
