Fire Alarms Help Save Lives and if you, or someone you know has ever had a narrow escape, you know how important it is to have a home fire alarm monitoring system installed in your home or office. Almost 3,500 lives are lost every year to fire and smoke inhalation. Do not let it happen to you.
A monitored smoke and fire alarm is the key to home security. Most good home security company plans include a fire and smoke alarm system. A monitored smoke or fire alarm is not the same kind of alarm that you would buy at your local hardware store.
Fire and smoke alarms that are monitored not only emit a loud beeping sound when there is smoke or a fire, but they also send a signal to your home security company. Good monitoring fire and smoke alarms allow for a short time delay just in case there is a false alarm. You know how sensitive regular smoke alarms can get if something starts to burn on the stove. A good smoke or fire alarm will give users plenty of time to disarm the system or call the monitored alarm company should a false alarm occur.
If a fire does occur, the control panel in your home or office security system will immediately activate the central alarm. This is loud enough to notify every member of the household as well as nearby neighbors. The monitoring service company is also contacted immediately. Because time is of the essence, many home monitoring companies will not try to phone you first to verify that there is indeed a fire. Instead, they will notify the local fire department for immediate dispatch. Be sure and check with your alarm company to make sure that the city does not impose a fee for a false alarm.
