 FireAngel - supplier of home safety devices - has further expanded its product range with a system that could help save hundreds of lives?
The Wi-Safe range of home safety products has been designed to provide an early warning of the danger of fire or carbon monoxide in the home.
Central to the Wi-Safe system is the Remote Warning Handset, a small portable hand held device that works in conjunction with FireAngel’s Wi-Safe Smoke Alarm and Wi-Safe Carbon Monoxide Alarm, providing audible and strong visual alerts.
The warning handset can be placed anywhere in the house, typically by a bed to ensure that the user wakes when potential fire, smoke and carbon monoxide problems are detected elsewhere in the house.
As soon as the Handset picks up a signal from the smoke or carbon monoxide alarms, its alarm will sound and at the same time, a bright light on the handset will flash warning of danger and an indicator will illuminate on the handset to identify the danger type - smoke or CO.
After the warning handset has been alerted to danger it automatically converts to an escape torch when taken out of its holder.
The Wi-Safe Warning Handset runs off the mains supply. If there is a break in power the handset will run off its 9 volt back up battery for up to 6 weeks.
Over 80 per cent of homes have at least one smoke alarm installed and fire deaths have fallen by more than half over the last 20 years as the public have become increasingly aware of the effectiveness of smoke alarms. But it does not detract from the fact that in the case of young children, the elderly or infirm it is highly likely that they may not wake up in the event of a fire even with a smoke alarm in place. That is because people often sleep through the alarm, especially if the device is fitted too far away from where the individual is sleeping.
The Wi-Safe Wireless Home Safety System will be available immediately through B & Q and other retailers later in the year. The remote warning handset will retail for under £30 and the Wi-Safe smoke and CO alarms will range in price from £15 to £35.
