Alarm Detection System

Studies demonstrate that smoke alarms save more lives than any other fire prevention measure. Smoke alarms provide the earliest warning of both fire and smoke. If your home has smoke alarms, check the date on the unit to determine how old it is. The NFPA recommends replacing your alarms every 10 years.It is important to know that not all smoke alarms are created equal. Some are better at sensing slow-burning, smoldering fires, while others warn of fast, hot blazes.
