Speaking about kids and fire safety, Studies have found (and a local TV station has demonstrated) that conventional smoke dectors with their ear-splitting alarms do not usually rouse children (including young teens) from a sound sleep. Those that awakened are usually frightened or confused by the sound. A new type of smoke dector allows the parents to record warnings and instructions in their voices. The children recognize their parents voices easily and will follow the recorded instructions well. It was very interesting to see (and hear).


Stay Safe,
