November 16, 2011 Knox Box Program Supported by WACOG and area Fire Departments In the event of a medical or other emergency, how will the emergency responders gain quick access to a victim/patient in a locked home? The Fire Departments in La Paz, Mo- have and Yuma Counties are in part- nership with Western Arizona Council of Governments (WACOG) and are implementing a new pilot program. Knox Boxes have been donated to each area fire departments to issue, on loan, to senior citizens 60 years of age or older, so that access can be www.DesertMessenger.com made quickly to provide essential care and services to secured/locked homes decreasing the chances of prop- erty damage that can be caused with forced entry. A Knox Box is a small, safe-like box that attaches to the home or entry door. A key to the home is placed inside the box. The box can only be accessed by a special key that the fire department carries with them at all times. These boxes are very secure as access to the key is limited. Protect our seniors and their prop- erty. For more information, contact Quartzsite Fire Department at 928- 927-6556 or call 800-782-1886. Quartzsite Food Bank needs donations.
