Burglar alarm

The International Association of Fire Chiefs is concerned about a new burglar alarm system that deploys dense smoke to incapacitate an intruder. The systems are sold on the premise of protecting a property by having a blinding smoke screen quickly fill an area when a burglar alarm is activated. In turn, the blinding smoke may likely activate a smoke/fire alarm; this would precipitate a fire department response.

Chief Alan Perdue, chair of the IAFC Fire and Life Safety Section, brought the new alarms to the attention of the IAFC board of directors, saying that several national franchise businesses are reportedly installing this type of system.

“In essence, a complement of 15 to 20 firefighters is sent to a report of smoke in a building, but when they arrive, they have a burglary in progress with a perpetrator who may be armed at worst and disoriented and confused at best,” said Chief Jim Harmes, IAFC president. “The entire fire response lends itself to multiple situations where a firefighter or citizen can lose their lives, all because a burglar alarm was activated, generating a false fire alarm response.”

The International Fire Code specifically prohibits these types of systems, and the National Fire Protection Association 101 Safety to Life standard has provisions that prohibit anything from impeding egress from a building. Dense smoke certainly impedes anyone from safely exiting a building. Fire departments may not be notified of installations of these alarm systems in their jurisdictions, because they are part of a burglar alarm system.

Companies that install these devices are willingly transmitting a false alarm to a fire department. These smoke barrier systems not only will unnecessarily tie up community resources, but more importantly may also put their fire and EMS personnel’s lives at stake.

“The Central Station Alarm Association represents the nation’s burglar and fire alarm monitoring and installing companies and completely supports the IAFC position on eliminating the use of smoke barriers,” said CSSA President John Murphy. “The smoke barriers present an inherent danger to firefighters and law enforcement, and the rationale for their use is fundamentally flawed.for more information please visit

Alarm System

Years ago, home burglar alarms were only found in homes where people were rich. These days however, the prices have dropped and they are becoming more common with people of average income. A lot of people who invest in home go for the do it yourself types. These systems can be hard wired or wireless. They set off an alarm when an intruder attempts to break in or when they are already sneaking around inside of your home. Ask yourself this question; if you were sleeping would you know if an intruder was inside your home?

There are two main types of burglar security systems - open and closed circuit. Open circuit systems work by alerting you with alarm when the circuit closes. When a window or a door is opened, the circuit is immediately completed and the alarm will go off. Closed circuit systems just the opposite. With closed circuits, when a window or door is opened, the circuit is broken - also setting off the alarm.if you want more information please visit

home security information

Home security should be important to everyone whether you live in a house or an apartment.

Knowing your home is protected provides peace of mind both when you are away and when you are home. Security is important even if you have outstanding public safety agencies (police, fire, highway patrol, etc.) in your area. There are far more homes than there are police officers, not to mention a plethora of skilled thieves, so it's important for you to do everything possible to make your house secure rather than just relying on others.

When people think of protecting their homes, they often think of fancy expensive security systems with lots of bells and whistles. That is certainly an option, but there are measures you can take that won't break the bank, too. Also, depending on your home and neighborhood, you may not need the most expensive system.if you want more information in security systems please visit

Home security burglar alarm

If you already have, or are thinking about installing an alarm system in your home, you really need to know how the police response to alarm activations varies according to the type of alarm you install.

Police statistics show that in recent years over 92% of all alarm activations nationally were false alarm calls, caused by user error, faulty equipment or communication.

The Association of Chief Police Officers England, Wales & Northern Ireland (ACPO) and the Association of Chief Police Officers Scotland (ACPOS), released their policies on Police home security burglar alarm response to monitored security systems, on 1st January 2001 and 3rd June 2002 respectively.

Systems installed prior to the 1st October 2001 within England, Wales & Northern Ireland retain the right to pass unconfirmed alarms, until such time as they may have police response withdrawn, after which they will require confirmed alarm technology.

All new intruder alarm systems are required to be installed with confirmed technology in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, whilst in Scotland it is only recommended to do so and is not mandatory.

The police have now adopted the 'ACPO Unified Intruder Alarm Policy', in order to redress the balance in favour of genuine alarm calls.more information please
