TEAYS VALLEY COMMUNITY CONNECT
Your property. Your people. Your needs. Your pets. Your Teays Valley Fire has been working with technology partner First Due to release a new public safety program for our area. The program is called Community Connect and it allows the residents in our fire service district to share valuable life safety information with our department. Residents can provide details about their home, family, children, pets, medical or functional needs, and more, so that when First Responders are dispatched to an emergency at that residence, they have the most information possible before arriving on the scene.
One of First Due’s main priorities in building this platform is to keep those who may be more vulnerable or need more assistance in the event of an emergency as safe and cared for as possible. Giving our residents the ability to share with us their specific needs will allow us to keep Teays Valley residents much safer, but to run a successful program we need the involvement and engagement of all residents and families. This is where we need your help.
We are hoping you can first, create your own Household Life Safety Profile on Community Connect which you can access here. And second, help us spread the word by sharing this information with your family members, friends, and neighbors. We have included a flyer (below) that explains what Community Connect is, what type of information to provide, the security and privacy of the platform, and how to navigate to the page to sign-up; just click here to access the flyer or click the photo of the flyer below to access the printable PDF version.
Please reach out to us if you have any questions or concerns or need further information. This is an incredible program for our community, and we appreciate your partnership and work in spreading the word.
Thank you for your involvement and assistance with this initiative and for your continued support of our department. We are looking forward to a safer community in Teays Valley.

KNOX RAPID ACCESS PROGRAM
During an emergency, which includes everything from fires to medical aid, hazardous conditions to false alarms, first responders may be required to use forced entry to gain access into a building, which has the potential for property damage and injury. That’s why local fire departments across the country, including Teays Valley Fire, are part of the Knox Box Program.
What is it? A Knox Box is a secure and mounted device that can hold keys and access cards for use by a Fire Department during after-hours emergency calls for service. Key boxes allow businesses to prevent or reduce damage to their structure by Fire Department personnel during calls for service and provide a means for Fire Department personnel to access secure areas quickly. Key boxes are only accessible by Fire Department personnel, not by police or other first responders.
Installation of a Knox Box on your property will not only allow firefighters faster access in case of an emergency, but will also prevent expensive damage to your building should an emergency occur. Costly doors and windows will not be damaged if entry keys are available on-site. These are available for commercial and residential buildings.
