Fire safety equipment for the home

Smoke detectors

A smoke detector, otherwise known as a smoke alarm, alerts the occupants of a home with an audible signal in case of smoke, so they can react quickly and save lives.

Carbon monoxide detectors

A carbon monoxide detector alerts the occupants of a home with an audible signal in case of abnormal levels of carbon monoxide (CO).

Fire extinguisher
