Home Security How to Guide 

 

 

 

Home Security Systems

Home security systems are designed to help save lives. Home security systems include CO-alarms ( Carbon Monoxide Devices ), smoke alarms, home security systems, etc. Smoke detectors and CO-alarms are available online, yet you should conduct research first to find what works best for you. Smoke alarms and CO alarms are all designed to do what they are suppose to do, yet many people fail to see that the alarms will go off when around heated areas, or if dust particles pollute the device.

Home Security SystemsWhat you should do?

Once you research, purchase, and install your smoke and CO-alarms be sure to replace the batteries regularly. You will also need to dust the alarms often to avoid mishaps. In addition, you should test your device weekly to make sure it is working. Unfortunately, people install smoke alarms and CO alarms and that is it. They do nothing more. Negligence is one of the major reasons that people die from fires or carbon monoxide build up in homes. In addition, people are injured for this same reason. This information was provided to me by ( Dowagiac Fire Staff ), please listen to this person as he is trained in helping you protect your family.

Fires: People tend to believe they can put out small fires without calling 911. This is a bad choice made. If you have a small fire, call 911 now, and then attempt to use your extinguisher to put out the fire. ( Always keep a fire extinguisher in your home as your first line of action ) Fires can hide, and restart later. Therefore, calling 911 will give the firefighters the opportunity to remove smoke from your home, as well as make sure the fire is completely out. In a materialistic world, we tend to strive to protect our belongings, more so than our lives. This is NUTS, in all aspects of the word. Your life is non-replaceable, therefore, get out of the house now, and let the firefighters do their job.

Installing Smoke Alarms: Smoke alarms should never be installed near heated areas. You should install smoke alarms in every bedroom of your home, as well as in all hallways.

CO Alarms: You should install CO alarms on each floor level, and one near your bedroom opening. ( E. g. Hallway ) Fire Extinguishers: You should have one fire extinguisher spotted in your kitchen area, garage, etc. If you have a fireplace, add a CO alarm near the area.

Floor Plan: You should have a floor plan written and placed in areas where your family will see the plans regularly. Your family should practice at least one a month, practicing the plans to escape. Fires are powerful. Even the smallest fire can kill.

Therefore, teach your children to call 911 now when a fire starts. The children should learn that matches and lighters are not toys as well.

Additional Home Security Devices: Homes should have smoke alarms, CO alarms, Fire Extinguisher, Hose, Bucket, and should be near a fire hydrant if possible. In addition, burglary alarms or home security systems should be rigged in your home to prevent prowlers from attacking. You can find sensor lights online, which are cheap items. The items are installed outside your home, which will compliment your burglary system. Cameras, stroll lights, horns, etc, are also available online to help you stay safe.

Getting out now: If you home, catches fire, call 911, get out now, and wait until the firefighters arrive. Meet in the same area outside, and count each member to make sure everyone escaped the fire. You are important, forget your belongings, and stay alive!
