The video below demonstrates just how dangerous a simple candle can be and how quickly a fire can spread. If you look at the left side of the screen you will see a small candle on the table in front of the window. Watch as the breeze blows the curtains over the candle for just a couple of seconds and the destructive consequences. Please be careful where you place your candles and never leave them unattended.

Knox-Box® Program
Stafford Township requires all commercial occupancies with a monitored alarm system to have a Knox security key box installed. Property owners in our community store entrance keys, access cards and floor plans in high-security Knox-Box® key boxes mounted near their building entrances. Each Knox-Box® purchased by the property owner is keyed to a single master key controlled by your department. With the Knox System, there is no cost to the fire department, no waiting for a property owner to unlock the door in the middle of the night, and no forcing the door open to gain entry.
The Knox Rapid Entry System reduces response time, property damage and the liability for lost keys. To order your Knox Box please complete the online order form. The form will be forward to our office for approval and sent directly to you to be installed. Please be sure you select Stafford Township Fire Department or use 08050.
