Call us today to find out what it would take to add fire protectoin to your alarm system:

Fire Hazard Prevention:

Install smoke detectors on every level of your home, especially
near bedrooms.

Test batteries once a month. Replace batteries
twice a year when you change your clocks. Only remove
batteries from the smoke detectors to replace them.

Plan and practice a home escape drill every six months. Have at
least two exits from every room in your home.

Agree on an
outside meeting place for everyone after they leave the home.

Mount a multipurpose fire extinguisher on a wall bracket near an exit. Also have all fire extinguishers inspected and recharged when necessary.

Make sure all adult family members or occupants know when and how to use them properly.

Store all matches, lighters and candles in fire-resistant containers or inside a secure cabinet or drawer.

Teach children that these items are not toys and are for use by adults only.

Never leave burning candles unattended. Keep them at least one foot away from materials that can burn, such as furniture, window coverings, or paper. Always keep candles out of children’s or pet’s reach.

Overloaded electrical circuits are major causes of home fires. Plug in one electrical device at a time. Check power cords on a regular basis for damage. If they are loose or frayed, have them repaired or replaced.

Monitored Fire Protection Advantage:

If you are not in the house and fire breaks out, you are relying on a neighbor/passer by to call the Fire Department.

With a monitored fire alarm system the monitored Fire Detector can rapidly detect the fire, and our Alarm Receiving Center will quickly call the Fire Department!
