In
taking steps to keep your home and family safe from the threats
of fire or gas leaks, you’ll find several types of detectors
to choose from. Equipping your home with enough of these devices
is one of the safety signs that signal to your friends and family
that you care about their well-being.
When researching the available fire safety products
on the market today, you will have to choose which type of smoke
detection system is best for your home. Newer homes may include
a hard wired smoke detector outside each bedroom. It could be
one of two types of detectors. One is an ionization alarm that
is most effective at detecting fast-moving fires such as a grease
fire in the kitchen. The other type is a photoelectric smoke detector
which is better for detecting slow-burning fires that can be started
by an igniter a smoldering cigarette. Neither offers better protection
over the other. It may be best to install both types in your home.
If you have children in the home, make sure they
understand what to do in the event that an alarm on one of these
detectors does sound. Families should get in the habit of developing
and practicing their own fire safety plans. Free checklists are
available to download from the internet that includes key safety
measures. You can also order posters and signs to remind your
children what to do in the event of an emergency and where your
fire extinguishers are located. Older kids can be taught about
fire extinguisher safety in case they ever have to use one.
Taking a few simple steps to help detect the signs
of smoke or fire in your home can protect all your valuables—family
and physical property. When placing extinguishers throughout your
home don’t forget places where fires are most likely to start
including the kitchen and garage! Develop a fire safety plan that
everyone can follow. You may want to put up a poster in the house
that will be a constant safety reminder of what to do in an emergency.
