Fire safety experts say that a person usually has less than 3 minutes to safely escape a house fire. A terrifying fact is that most children will sleep through the high pitched sound of a smoke detector – even if the alarm is shrieking just outside their bedroom door. A recording of a familiar voice, such as a parent, is proven more likely to wake up a sleeping child in time to escape such an emergency.
According to a Pediatrics article published October 2, 2006:
The median time to awaken was 20 seconds in the voice alarm group compared with 3 minutes in the tone alarm group. The median time to escape was 38 seconds in the voice alarm group compared with the maximum allowed 5 minutes in the tone alarm group.
If there are children in your life please take a moment to watch this TV news report. First they tested the effectiveness of a traditional alarm. Then they tested an alarm using the recorded voice of a parent. You will be amazed at the dramatic difference in the results. Keep in mind experts tell us we have no more than 3 minutes to safely exit a burning building. Every second counts.
What can you do?
First make sure your traditional alarms are working. They remain the best basic alarm for your home.
Secondly buy a Voice Alert alarm for each child under 16 years old. The Voice Alert employs patented technology and operates in conjunction with your current home smoke detector. A receiver/speaker unit is placed near your child’s bed. When smoke is detected in your home and your traditional alarm sounds, your recorded voice wakes them so they can safely escape the danger.
The Voice Alert receiver plays your pre-recorded voice message, alerting your child to the danger of a fire. Every second counts…protect your family with Voice Alert.
