A properly
installed and maintained smoke alarm is the
only thing in your home that can alert you
and your family to a fire 24 hours a day,
seven days a week. Whether you’re awake or
asleep, a working smoke alarm is constantly
on alert, scanning the air for fire and
smoke.
According to the National Fire Protection
Association, between 2003-2006, more than 66
percent of home fire deaths occurred in
homes without a working smoke alarm. A
working smoke alarm significantly increases
your chances of surviving a deadly home
fire. |

Fire Sprinklers |
|
|
Properly installed and maintained automatic fire
sprinkler systems help save lives. Because fire
sprinkler systems react so quickly, they can
dramatically reduce the heat, flames, and smoke
produced in a fire. Fire sprinklers have been around
for more than a century, protecting commercial and
industrial properties and public buildings. What
most people don't realize is that the same
life-saving technology is also available for homes,
where roughly 84% of all civilian fire deaths occur. |
