The Importance of Installing a Fire Alarm

Fire can spread spontaneously from garden bonfires onto your house to even more deadly electrical fires than may occur in the middle of the night due to faulty wiring or unprofessional electrical work. Below are a few points that really highlight the importance of installing a fire alarm.

This is the main use reason why we implement fire alarms, when smoke is detected your alarm will make a very loud high pitched noise which will ensure to wake homeowners up if their house is on fire. The early detection allows for everyone in the house to get out safely and massively reduces the danger as a good alarm will go off with any hint of smoke. This is ideal for escaping a fire but can be annoying for those cooking a fry-up!

Avoid Smoke 

Inhaling smoke is the main cause of death from a fire, without the benefit of a fire alarm by the time you have noticed that actual fire due to the heat then it is most likely already too late as you will have inhaled enough smoke to kill you. The most common cause of death from fire related incidents is due to people dying in their sleep from smoke inhalation which is a very scary thought!
