Address Signs:
Station 20 has highly reflective address signs available for purchase that are easily installed and greatly improves our ability to rapidly identify and locate your address day or night. The signs can be attached to all types of existing mail boxes or to a separate post if you so choose. If purchased, a Station 20 member will come to your address and install the sign free of charge. The price for a sign is $15.00 and includes the hardware and the installation of the sign. The signs will be available for sale during our pancake breakfasts, through the "Contact Us" link on our web page, or through any fire department member. We ask all members of the community to consider the purchase and installation of these signs so that when you need assistance we may better serve you.
A Knox Box allows secure Fire Company Access to your properity when you can't be there
KNOX BOX PROGRAM
Oxford Fire Company's Knox Box program is still available for homeowners and business that would like to take advantage of this unique security device. Several residents have already taken advantage of the device and installed them at their homes allowing firefighters and paramedics unimpeded access into their home should the resident be away when an alarm sounds or unable to get to their door due to a medical reason. The security boxes available are mounted on the residence and a door key, alarm instructions, medical histories, etc are placed in the box then the vault door is secured by an access key carried in the Fire Department's Command unit. There is only one key that can open the vault and it is accessed by emergency personnel that key in their identity code to unlock the key from its secure locking device. The device then notes who removed the key, the date, time, and duration that the key was away from its locking device. This added security measure is to provide residents and businesses the peace of mind that we can quickly access their property in time of need and that accountability measures are in place as well for their protection. Please contact any member of the station and a representative will get in touch with you to provide product information. There is a one-time purchase for the vault, there are no maintenance fees associated and they are an affordable means to allow responders emergency access without having to force entry and cause expensive damage to doors or windows.
