How Home Security Systems Can Protect Your Home and Family Against Fire
Most people investigating a home security system think of it primarily as a burglar alarm. However, a complete residential security package should include fire-detection monitoring. Here are some ways you can keep your family members and property safe from the devastating loss caused by a residential fire.
- Be sure to discuss fire escape routes with your family. Having an escape plan, along with your home security system, can help make sure your family is safe in a fire. Be sure that every family member is aware of two ways out of every room in your home, especially the bedrooms. Include in your fire safety plan a designated meeting spot outside your home so you will know who has made it out.
- Children under age 5 and people over 65 are the most frequent age groups either injured or killed in a house fire. In addition to your burglar alarm enabled to report fires, make sure pre-schoolers know not to hide in closets or under beds in case of fire. Have a plan in place to make sure senior citizens get out.
- Winter is the most hazardous time of year for home fires. Keep your home security system armed and make sure heating equipment and electrical holiday lights are safe.
Studies have found that fewer fatalities and injuries occur in fires in homes that have residential security systems. Look into one today.
