Dear Franklin Township Residents,
The Quakertown Fire Company Community Outreach Program is offering assistance to residents aged 65 and older by providing secure, damage-free access to their homes during emergencies.
Lock Box Project Overview
The Lock Box Project equips eligible residents with a weather-resistant lock box containing a key to their home, enabling authorized emergency responders to access the residence swiftly when every moment counts.
Eligibility:
Community residents aged 65 or older.
How It Works:
- Application: Residents fill out the attached form.
- Submission: Completed forms can be mailed or dropped off at 67 Quakertown Road, Pittstown, NJ 08867.
- Installation: We coordinate installation at the resident’s home.
- Review: Proper keys should be verified in the lock box annually.
Lock Box Details:
- Color and Identification: The lock boxes are red and labeled for fire department use, each marked with a serial number for tracking.
- Security: Lock box codes will be securely entered into I Am Responding and submitted to the county for inclusion in incident text notes.
Benefits:
- Faster, damage-free entry for emergency responders.
- Enhanced safety and peace of mind for residents.
For your convenience, the flyer and application form are attached.
Thank you for helping us improve safety for our residents.
