I was invited to sit in on a Fire Safety Presentation given by Brian Bell a retired fireman who I must say he's extremely passionate about his work with Fire Safety and the message he is trying to convey! Brian introduced us to a Home Safe Network using Omnishield Smoke Sensors, Heat Sensors, Carbon Monoxide Sensors, and Flood & Freeze Sensors! Brian showed us some real life situations and we even did a hands-on exercise where we started a fire and put it out with a fire retarded blanket. A few things that stood out in the presentation was the how quickly a fire can spread and the time people really have to get out; also the dangers of that nine volt battery we take out of the beeping smoke detector and discard (believe it or not there is still enough juice in it to spark a fire if is hits against the wrong thing in the trash; FYI be sure to put a piece of electrical tape over it before discarding it). Another very shocking realization was the fact that most houses that catch on fire are equipped with a standard fire detector yet they very rarely go off in enough time for a family to get out (read the disclaimer in the box it's jaw dropping)! With this being said, I did invest in the system that was completely installed in less than an hour. It's quire affordable, life time equipment and you never have to replace the battery! This system has given my family peace of mind! read more
