Knox HomeBox Program

The grant funding for this program has ended, and no additional grant-funded boxes are available. However, residents who wish to have a Knox HomeBox for emergency access may still purchase one directly from Knox.

The Buckeye Fire‑Medical‑Rescue Department (BFMRD) continues to support the use of the Knox HomeBox as a safe, secure way for first responders to access your home during a medical emergency. The HomeBox stores a key to your residence in a hardened, tamper‑resistant box that only Buckeye Fire and Police can open. This option is especially helpful for residents who may have difficulty reaching the door quickly during an emergency, allowing our crews to enter without delay when every second matters.

How to Purchase Your Own Knox HomeBox

You can learn more about how the home lockbox works and purchase one by visiting the Knox HomeBox website.

We’re happy to help ensure your HomeBox is properly set up so it’s ready when you need it most.

After you receive and install your HomeBox:

  1. Call 623‑349‑6759 or email nryan@buckeyeaz.gov.
  2. We will schedule a time for BFMRD personnel to come out and securely place your house key inside the box.
