Burglars pick and choose what they take... Fire takes everything! A home fire doubles

It is a known fact in a house fire you have Fire Officials advise that you have
less than 2 minutes to safely exit yourself and your family from a house on fire.
after your smoke detector alerts you to the fact that there is a fire, to get yourself
and your family out of the house safely.
With your new family security system, on your way out of the house, you press the
"FIRE" emergency buttons clearly marked on your keypad. The system immediately seizes
the phone lines and sends the fire signal to an ADT Customer Monitoring Centre.
All of the information that the Fire Department will need; critical information
necessary for the fire department to act quickly, your city or town and house address
etc. is already on file at our command Customer Monitoring cCenter. Remember the
14 questions the 911 operators ask in order to dispatch the fire engines. The fire
department is immediately dispatched and already on their way by the time you and
your family are safely outside the burning house.
Battery-operated smoke detectors are fine - if you hear them. But what if you're
away when a fire starts? Or you're asleep or unconscious?
Could you count on your neighbour to call for help in time? How long would it take
before emergency personnel were notified?
You can't always call for help... but ADT can. With a monitored smoke detector installed
by Guardian Security and monitored by ADT, you'll know that we can call for help,
even if you're not home. If there's a fire, your system can alert a 24-hour ADT
Customer Monitoring Centre. Then we can alert the authorities right away.
You and your children may be dizzy and disoriented from the noxious fumes. Remember
that there is not a lot of time. You've been awakened from a deep sleep with the
detector blaring. You're dizzy and have a headache. You wake up your spouse and
he/she is confused and disoriented as well.
You remember the children! You run to their rooms and grab them. You run with them
outside and place them on the lawn with your spouse.
You have forgotten to call 911.
Now, the 911 system performs a great service for people who do not have a professionally
monitored security system. Did you know that the information the operators at 911
must gather from you, before they are able to dispatch help, averages 14 questions?
This is a very long time when your home is on fire.
