Home Fire Monitoring

House fires are the root of millions of dollars in property damage each year. A house fire can happen to just about anyone and can come from a variety of places. It could be a clogged chimney, electrical, cooking a cigarette and a plethora of other options. The opportunity of a house fire destroying your home is just too high to ignore. Lets go over some of the statistics about house fires and how home fire monitoring might be able to help you and your home.

-House fires are the 3rd leading cause of home fatalities.
-85% of all fires occur in a home or residence… don’t let it be yours!
-Over one third of residential fires occur in homes without smoke alarms
-Nearly 400,000 residential fires occur in the U.S. each year
-Nearly 15,000 people are injured or killed in home fires each year

Residential fires are more common than you think and hard to predict. The thing is, they are also very easily preventable. Keeping you home safe from fires is the first step, but a cautionary step like installing an alarm system with home fire monitoring is definitely a great option.

Home fire monitoring has little cost involved when buying from a good alarm company and your only investment is for the actual smoke/heat detectors. This is a very small investment when you consider the safety that you’ll get knowing the fire department will be automatically dispatched should you have a fire in your home.

If you’re new to looking into an alarm system for you home, be sure to inquire about home fire monitoring. If you already have one installed in your home, the chances are high that your alarm system company has fire monitoring as an additional add on. The small up front cost could pay dividends down the road because the fire department is on your speed dial.
