Residential Fire Protection

Benefits of residential fire protection

There is no way to know how many lives are saved by good planning and preparations. We can only look at the number of people who may not have had adequate residential fire protection to estimate the number of successes there have been. Each year over 4,000 people die in fires across the country, and thousands more are injured. Sometimes those injuries result in lifelong disabilities with respiratory or cognitive problems. Surely there are many, many more people who, due to good home fire protection, escape unharmed when their homes are destroyed.

One small piece of equipment to be used along with other safety gear is the Xcaper Personal Smoke Mask. This is a remarkable product designed to be used one time, though if you have used your Xcaper in a fire you need only return it to us and we will send you a brand new replacement free of charge. The Xcaper is worn on the face, and in a smoky environment you will be protected and be able to breathe freely for up to 30 minutes or more. Imagine being able to get through a smoke-filled house safely, and not having the problems caused by smoke inhalation. This life-preserving item is available to you, and you can order it now on our Shop page.

Family and home fire protection

People are becoming more aware of the need to protect themselves in case of fire. Information on home fire protection is increasingly before the public eye. One thing people are doing is installing smoke alarms. Unfortunately, fire statistics show that about 25% of these alarms were not functional when the homes burned. This is generally because expired batteries were not replaced, so it seems that while people are more aware of the need for residential fire protection, it is not always a priority.
