13.4 Minimizing Home Fire Hazards

How can you avoid the three most common causes of fires at home?

Never leave cooking food unattended. It’s the leading cause of fire injuries. Cooking
fires often result from unattended cooking and human error, rather than mechanical
failure.

Stay alert when smoking. Careless smoking is the leading cause of fire deaths.
Smoke detectors and smoulder-resistant bedding and upholstered furniture are
significant fire deterrents.

Maintain your heating system. Faulty heating systems are the second leading cause
of residential fires.

13.5 Home Fire Warning System

Household fires are especially dangerous at night. Fires produce smoke and deadly
gases that can overcome occupants while they sleep. To warn against fire, install smoke
detectors outside each separate sleeping area in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms
and on each additional story of the family living unit, including basements.

13.6 Burglar Alarm

If your armed system is breached, the burglar alarm devices specific to your system will
be triggered. The feedback will vary depending on the type of keypad used. If your
keypad is in Normal Mode:

In Alarm will appear on LCD screen.

Bell or siren may be activated.

The keypad may beep. The M

EM

action light will illuminate.

In case of a burglar alarm, leave the premises and call the police station
from a safe place.
