Stop Fires Before They Start!
· Candles - Make certain that you always blow out candles when you leave a room or go to sleep. Unattended candles have started many fires over the last year. · Heating - Try to keep everything that can burn at least one foot away from heaters. Clothes, blankets, newspapers and furniture can start a fire if they are too close to a heater. · Cooking - Never leave food unattended while cooking. Many people lose more than their meal when they forget they are cooking. · Kids - Keep matches and lighters away from small children. Put them away in places where they are out of sight and out of reach from little hands. · Smoking - Remind friends and family that smoking while in bed or when sleepy is dangerous. Provide your guests and family with large ashtrays and empty the ashes when they are cold. · 911 - It is important that everyone in your home knows how to call 911 for emergency help. Place 911 stickers on all of your phones and make certain small children know their home address. Home Escape Plan - When you hear the building fire alarm you need to act fast. Practice a home escape plan and learn where to go if a fire ever starts in your building. |

By and large most people have traditional smoke detectors installed in their homes. Fire codes see to it that audible alarms are placed in a minimum number of areas of your house and most people even remember to change the batteries twice a year so they are in working order. But what happens if there is a fire while you are sleeping or not home at all? Who will hear the alarm and call the fire department to protect your home then? What if you have a pet, will Spot know who to call? With a monitored home fire communicator you can have the added peace of mind that your home is safe from the threat of fire 24 hours a day.
In the event of fire, our state of the art smoke and heat sensors will send a signal to a team of dispatchers who monitor your system continuously. If you are home, our dispatchers will communicate with you directly using our Live Interactive Voice Response system. If not, they will dispatch both fire and EMS professionals to protect what matters most - your family and your home.
