QUESTION: Do I need monitored fire protection in my home while I'm deployed?

ANSWER: ABSOLUTELY!

Fire Statistics:
Source: NFPA

• Home fires are the fifth leading unintentional cause of injury and death in the United States, behind motor vehicle crashes, falls, poisoning by solids or liquids, and drowning.
• Home fires rank as the first cause of death for children under the age of 15 at home.
• Roughly 80 percent of all fire deaths occur where people sleep, such as in homes, dormitories, barracks, or hotels. The majority of fatal fires occur when people are likely to be less alert, such as nighttime sleeping hours.
• In 2008, 3,640 people died in reported home fires in the United States - roughly 10 people per day. In addition, thousands of people were injured in home fires, many hospitalized for severe burns; some disfigured for life. Victims are disproportionately children or elderly.
• Two of every five fires that kill young children are started by children playing with fire.
• Approximately 900 older adults die in fires annually.

A Monitored Smoke Detector can be installed in your home to prevent these statistics. With your military home alarm you can customize your alarm system to have this installed in your home at no extra cost because of your military discounts.

Yes, you have "smoke detectors" in your home. But they do you no good if your passed out or if your away from the home. Your Monitored Smoke Detector will contact your alarm company, the alarm company will notify you on your cell phone and will dispatch the local fire department to prevent major home smoke/fire damages and possibly to save your life.

Will a Monitored Smoke Detector cause false alarms? No. If you are cooking and there is a heavy smoke that fills the house. Your alarm company will contact you over the new cellular and 2 way voice keypad to see if everything is ok and under control. If you are home and burning the chicken, all you need to do is give the alarm company your password and tell them everything is ok. They will not dispatch the fire department, and you do not get charged extra for them to call and check on you.
