October is Fire Prevention Month.
Did you know:
- 60% of home fire deaths result from fires in homes with no working smoke alarms or smoke detectors?
- unattended cooking is the primary cause of home fires?
- less than 50% of homeowners have an escape plan?
- there were almost 1.3 million fires in 2019 (the most recent year that statistics are available)?
- there were 3,704 fire deaths in 2019 (this is up 24.1% from 2010)?
- there was $14.8 billion property damage from fires in 2019?
Guard Tronic has been installing fire alarm systems since 1959. We primarily started proving fire detection equipment to commercial buildings, but quickly began servicing the residential market, where most fire deaths occur.
Fire alarm systems are very inexpensive compared to the damage they prevent and most system owners receive a discount from their insurance providers. This discount will often pay much of the cost for monitoring the fire alarm system.
“Fire alarm systems are like insurance. No one wants to pay that monthly fee for a promise…..until you need it. Then you are so thankful to have the system that can save your life and property.”
– Dave Gilbert, co-owner of Guard Tronic until his death in 2014.
