11.4 Minimizing Home Fire Hazards
How can you avoid the four most common causes of fires at home?
1. Never leave cooking food unattended. Cooking fires are often a
result of unattended cooking and human error, rather than
mechanical failure.
2. Stay alert when smoking. Careless smoking is the leading cause
of fire deaths. Smoke detectors, smolder-resistant bedding, and
upholstered furniture are significant fire deterrents.
3. Maintain your heating system. Heating is the second leading
cause of residential fires. However, heating fires are a larger
problem in single family homes than in apartments. Unlike
apartments, the heating systems in single family homes are often
not professionally maintained.
4. Since fires produce smoke and deadly gases that can overcome
occupants while they sleep, smoke detectors should be installed
in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms and on each additional
story of the family living unit, including basements.
11.5 Burglar Alarm
If your armed system is breached, the burglar alarm devices specific
to your system will be triggered. If your keypad is in Normal Mode:
• The light may flash red and the Regular Arm icon (or if the
system is partitioned, the area number that is affected) will flash.
• The keypad may beep. The Memory icon will illuminate.
• The bell or siren may be activated.
• The zones in alarm will be recorded in the Alarm Memory Display.
In case of a burglar alarm, leave the premises and call your
monitoring station from a safe place.
