Why Fire Alarms or Smoke Detection!

When you are awake fire can be easily initially picked up by smell, well before you hear it or see it. While you are sleeping, however, your sense of smell sleeps too, and of course your eyesight. Therefore, if a fire occurs while you and your family are sleeping, the only senses you have left to alert you of this impending situation are touch and hearing. If you are able to feel or hear the fire in your home, hotel, or place of work it is possible too late for an evacuation.
Early warnings and protected escape routes are key to surviving any fire, and early warning can only be managed with a functioning and effective Fire Alarm System weather its a domestic smoke alarm in your own home or the Fire alarm system in your hotel. That is why it is so important to have your fire alarms/ smoke alarms regularly tested and serviced. We conduct thorough testing and assessment of your smoke alarms when others just simply push the button!
Any number of things can affect whether your system is working, such as dust build-up, placement of the alarm, and that is why regular testing and servicing is so important. You regularly service your car to ensure not only the safety of yourself, but your loved ones also, so why would you not service and test your fire alarm/ smoke detectors.
At the end of the day, life is priceless, and no amount of money that you will spend on safety precautions is more valuable than life.
