The Deadly Rage of Fire
The threat of fire exists in every room of your home or business, from
frayed wires to kitchen accidents to malfunctions in machinery. In a
matter of seconds, fire can consume a room and spread quickly
throughout a premises. Fire is a greater danger than burglary because
of the potential for loss of life and home. Existing smoke alarms will
wake people up, but they won't call the fire department. Patriot
Security provides affordable whole home protection.
Consider
the following statistics:
- Home fires are the fifth leading unintentional cause of
injury and death in the United States, behind motor vehicle crashes,
falls, poisoning by solids or liquids, and drowning.
- Home fires rank as the first cause of death for children
under the age of 15 at home.
- Roughly 80 percent of all fire deaths occur where people
sleep, such as in homes, dormitories, barracks, or hotels. The majority
of fatal fires occur when people are likely to be less alert, such as
nighttime sleeping hours.
- Two of every five fires that kill young children are
started by children playing with fire.
- Approximately 900 older adults die in fires annually.

The International Association of Firefighters (www.affl.org) recommends
protection for each bedroom and the main living area. For commercial or
business locations all electrical and storage closests should be
monitored, in addition to kitchens and breakrooms. If your
home is not equipped with hard-wired smoke detectors, Patriot Security
does offer wireless smoke detectors that connect easily to your system.
The Solution: All-Points Fire Protection
Patriot Security offers a comprehensive fire protection plan for your
home or business, called "an all points fire protection system." For
maximum coverage, you may want to consider a smoke detector on every
floor, with additional smoke detectors in halls, stairways, bedroom and
living areas. Also, the addition of heat detectors will sense fire
trouble in areas where smoke detectors aren't applicable, such as
furnace rooms, kitchens, attics and garages. Our highly-trained
specialists will review your premises and recommend the best security
system for your needs. Let Patriot Security provide you with a free
security analysis today.
The Technology
The key to effective protection against fire is 24-hour monitoring.
With a monitored fire protection system, we can dispatch local fire
authorities, or even alert you to dangerous conditions before they get
out of hand. Each detector "listens" to your existing hardwired smoke
alarms. If any of them detect smoke and sound their siren, our system
then alerts our 24-hour monitoring center.
