Research shows that 30 years ago, you had about 17 minutes to escape a house fire.
Today it's down to three or four minutes.
The reason: Newer homes and the furniture inside them actually burn faster. A lot faster.

Savvy can offer peace of mind.
Mechanical Room Sprinklers: Our friendly and cost-effective installation can provide fire protection with minimal maintenance requirements. No annual inspections or back-flow testing is required. Smoke Alarms: When properly installed, tested and maintained, provide the best early warning system in the event of a house fire. Hard-wired smoke alarms, which operate on your household electrical current, can be interconnected so that every smoke alarm sounds when smoke is detected by just one alarm. This is an advantage, because residents are given more time to escape if they are in one part of the home and a fire breaks out in another part. It is mandatory in secondary suite upgrades. Fire Alarm Systems: Are expected to help protect people, property, and assets. But it is hard to tell if they’re fully operational just by looking at them. As with other electronics, components can degrade over time and compromise the system’s operation. Dust, dirt, and other contaminants can cause problems with smoke detectors. Such things as vandalism, remodeling, and improper maintenance procedures can also damage fire protection equipment. The good news is that with proper testing, inspection, and maintenance fire alarm systems can be kept at optimum operating performance. In addition to ensuring protection, keeping your system in good condition reduces emergency repairs and false alarms. Automatic Fire Sprinklers: Homes equipped with automatic fire sprinklers reduce the risk of death in a home fire by 82% and decrease property damage by as much as 90%. Sprinklers provide a high level of life safety. Statistics demonstrate that there has never been a multiple loss of life in a fully sprinklered building. Property losses are 85% less in residences with fire sprinklers compared to those without sprinklers. The combination of automatic sprinklers and early warning systems in all buildings and residences could reduce overall injuries, loss of life and property damage |
