Are Your Pets Safe?
Have you ever thought about what happens to your
dog, cat, bird or fish
if a fire breaks out while you are away?
It is not something people like to think about, but it happens. You may be away at work, running an errand or on vacation and you are oblivious what is taking place in your home.
Code requires that homeowners install smoke detectors in specific areas of the house. These detectors can be installed by you, your electrician or by an alarm company.
Security company smoke detectors are tied into the alarm panel and send a signal into the central monitoring station when smoke is detected. When a signal is received, the fire department is immediately dispatched.
Monitored fire protection usually provides an additional discount off of your home owners insurance policy.
Contact your carrier for the specific amount.
This being the case, one of the differences between electrician installed smoke detectors and monitored smoke detectors are minutes gained; minutes that may make a huge difference with your pets and your property.
Next time you are walking out your door remember your pet’s life and safety is only as secure as the smoke detectors you have installed in your home. Read more about monitored fire protection or contact Atronic Alarms at 913.362.0000 to learn more.
