Sign up to get a Knox Box in BG
The Bowling Green Fire Division received a grant from the Bowling Green Community Foundation with
assistance from the Wood County Committee on Aging to start a Knox Box loaner program.
The program will provide a free Knox Box to eligible city residents.
The Knox Box is a secure metal box that is mounted to the exterior of the building and is used to hold
keys to allow emergency crews to gain entry during an emergency, instead of causing damage to doors and
windows. Only the BGFD can access these boxes.
If interested, or for more information, contact Craig Cookson at 419-352-3106 or leave a message at the
fire division.
