What is a Knox-Box? Well, a Knox-Box is a 4” by 5” safe- like device that is designed as a rapid entry system allowing secure emergency access for the fire department.

Lackawanna Fire Department Medical File Program

Lackawanna Fire Department Medical File Program

In a medical emergency, every second counts! Picture this- your loved one is having a medical emergency and the fire department is on the way. When we arrive, this person is incoherent or even unconscious. Does he have an existing medical condition? Is he on any medications? Is he allergic to anything? In the midst of a life threatening emergency, these questions become critical.
