According to the National Fire Protection Association, 501,500 structure fires were reported in the United States last year. While you may not always be able to stop a fire from happening, a fire detection system plays a key role in minimizing the related damage and saving lives. Alert Alarm has been Northwest Indiana’s most trusted alarm system provider since 1969. Above all else, their mission has always been to protect and provide peace of mind to Merrillville, IN, and the surrounding areas.

If you don’t already have a fire detection system, here are three benefits to installing one in your home or business:

  • Advanced Warning: The chances of a fire starting right before your eyes are slim. In most cases, fires happen at night or in areas of a building where no one is around. A fire detection system issues an audible alert the instant a fire is detected. It gives the individuals in the building time to escape to safety before the fire gets out of control. In other words, fire detection systems save lives.
  • fire detection systemIndividualized Placement: When installing a fire detection system, you have the flexibility to put it anywhere. Place the alarm system in areas of your home where the threat of fire is most imminent, like the kitchen, or bedrooms and shared hallways, where they’re guaranteed to be heard. Avoid installing your fire alarm system close to the bathroom, however. Shower steam will trigger it.
  • Remote Monitoring: The audible alarm feature of your fire detection system is meant to alert individuals inside the building, but what if no one’s there? When installing your alarm system, you have the opportunity to set up a remote monitoring system that will instantly notify emergency responders. Fire department personnel and medical providers will be at the scene as soon as possible, regardless of whether the building is occupied or not.

Alert Alarm has worked with the FBI, the DEA, and the Lake County Sheriff’s Department, and they want to spread the word about how valuable fire detection systems really are.
