What's
It Like To Be In A Home Fire? You can't see anything in front of you.
You can’t breathe. It’s hot. It’s dark. It’s hostile. The clock is
ticking. That is the
blueprint for a home fire. To experience this sensation for
yourself, simply stand in your bedroom tonight, have someone blindfold
you, place a pillow case over your head to reduce your air flow, turn
off the lights, then turn you around 5 or 6 times. Now, try to find
your way out of the house. Can you get outside within a few minutes?
It’s not as easy as you may think.
Fire
officials suggest that you Leave The Home Immediately... When a fire
occurs, do not waste any time saving property. Take the safest exit
route, but if you must escape through smoke, remember to crawl low,
under the smoke and keep your mouth covered. The smoke contains toxic
gases which can disorient you or, at worst, overcome you. |

In
a fire emergency, LifePath works in combination with your existing
smoke detection system. A microphone in the LifePath transmitter
listens for the emergency sound from most any existing smoke, heat,
carbon monoxide or whole house alarm. When triggered, a wireless signal
activates all remote LifePath receivers within a 50-foot range. Each
eye-appealing receiver contains a high intensity strobe light designed
to penetrate smoke, complete with audible alarm and hot spot warning
capability. When installed at door handle height the strobes illuminate
and direct your escape path Under The Smoke. |
As
LifePath was tested in a real home fire, a Fire Rescue spokesperson
said, “LifePath will allow a child to see the avenue of escape and
associate the light with safety.” As we move forward with this
humanitarian effort please stay tuned for Internet & TV promotions
as LifePath becomes available in your area. |
