Fire Prevention Products

No matter how old your child is, he or she still is and will always be your baby. Because of this, you are just as concerned with safety issues in college as you were in kindergarten. It's important to know what fire prevention products will be available in the dormitory and on campus.

You want to make sure the college takes whatever precautions possible and that dorm fire safety issues are closely monitored. It is unlikely that school personnel will be able to provide the same level of care that you do, however, so you may want to supplement what is available with safety items of your own.

Smoke inhalation is one of the greatest concerns in dormitory fires. Often the flames themselves do not reach the students, but they may be fatally overcome by the smoke. Because of this, you may want to purchase your college student an Xcaper Personal Smoke Mask to take to school with him.

The Xcaper has been tested in live fires, and has saved the lives of many, many people. It is recommended as an important safety factor by Firefighter Rescue, Inc, and you can read about this in the Firefighter Testimonial at Our Story.

The Xcaper will give your child up to 30 minutes to breathe freely and take whatever measures are necessary to evacuate the building. You may purchase one now on our Shop page.

Some dorm fire safety precautions

You plan for your child to go away to college, there are some things you want to keep in mind. Check out these dorm fire safety issues with his or her new school:

1. Each room should have a smoke alarm.
2. The smoke alarms should be routinely tested and given new batteries.
3. Alarms should automatically signal the local fire department.
4. An evacuation plan should be in place and routinely practiced.
5. Students should have easy access to and training on fire extinguishers.

Though it may be difficult, if these fire prevention products are not provided in your child's dorm you may want to consider vetoing that particular living situation. It could save his life.
