Did You Know...

In New-Brunswick, between January and December of 2007, fire resulted in over $11,000,000 in property damage, and that of the 11 deaths NONE occurred where smoke detectors were found to be present and working

Standard Ionization Smoke Detectors (Like the ones your electrician installed or the ones you buy and install yourself) can take up to 1 hour longer to detect a fire than the Photoelectric type like the ones used with home security systems, to see our Smoke Detector FAQ click HERE

According to the U.S. Fire Association...

38% of residences where fires occurred had an operable alarm and these fires accounted for only 8% of total property losses.
Only 6% of U.S. homes are not equipped with smoke alarms and 40% of fires occur in residences which have none installed.

On Average...

The time it takes to gather the family to get out, 5 minutes
Time to calm down, do a head count and go for help, 5 minutes
Time for your neighbors to respond (at 2AM), 3 minutes
911 asks (on average) 14 questions, Fire Dept. dispatch time, 4 minutes
Fire Department arrival time, 4 minutes

That's a total of as much as 1 hour and 21 minutes before help arrives! Considering fire doubles every 30 seconds, that's a very long time!

Now Consider...

With ADT monitoring your home...

Fire Department dispatch time can be as little as 5 minutes!
