Fire Alarm System

If you think smoke detectors are all you need to protect your home and family from a fire, you're wrong. While it is important to have working smoke detectors in your home, a monitored fire alarm system adds extra protection to limit fire damage and safeguard your family. The fire alarm systems offered by SHIELD® Security are not sprinkler systems; rather, they are monitored smoke detectors that work together with your home security system to provide complete protection.

The biggest benefit of such a fire alarm system is that it alerts the fire department if smoke is detected. Normal smoke detectors are simply auditory alarms designed to alert residents of the danger and evacuate the building. Once you've exited to safety, it's your job to call the fire department. In contrast, a monitored fire alarm ensures that when smoke is sensed the fire department is called —- regardless of whether you're home! SHIELD® Security makes the call when smoke is detected, providing fire protection even when you're away.
