The Corvallis Fire Department is replacing and updating equipment on Knox Rapid Access Systems in use throughout the City. Also known as Knox Boxes, these security systems allow firefighters access to a building in the event of an emergency. Most businesses in Corvallis are required to have a Knox Box on premises.
