Most Parents Are Not Prepared for Potentially Deadly Home Fires. Are You?

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recently urged Americans to take extra fire safety precautions this winter in the wake of several recent multiple fatality fires: “These recent tragic fires have painfully underscored that we are right in the middle of the peak season for home fires,” said NFPA President Jim Shannon.

According to NFPA, December, January and February are the leading months for home fires. In 2007 there were an estimated 399,000 home fires resulting in nearly 3,000 deaths. Cooking is the leading cause of home structure fires and home fire injuries. Smoking is the leading cause of home fire deaths. Heating ranks second in home fire deaths overall, but in one- or two-family dwellings it is the leading cause.

Among other tips, the NFPA recommends the following key fire safety tips:

Watch your cooking Stay in the kitchen when you are frying, grilling, or broiling food. If you must leave, even for a short time, turn off the stove.
Have a home fire escape plan Make a home fire escape plan and practice it at least twice a year.
Install and test smoke alarms Install smoke alarms on every level of your home, inside bedrooms and outside sleeping areas. Interconnect smoke alarms throughout the home. When one sounds, they all sound. Test smoke alarms at least once a month and replace batteries once a year or when the alarm “chirps” to tell you the battery is low. Replace any smoke alarm that is more than 10 years old.
Install carbon monoxide alarms Install CO alarms in a central location outside each separate sleeping area and on every level of the home and in other locations where required by applicable laws, codes or standards. For the best protection, interconnect all CO alarms throughout the home.
Install sprinklers If you are building or remodeling your home, install residential fire sprinklers. Sprinklers can contain, and may even extinguish, a fire in less time than it would take the fire department to arrive.

Are you following these simple safety tips? Do you have a plan for fire safety in your home? Do you have a working smoke detector and a fire extinguisher on hand? If not, you owe it to yourself to visit Kidde, the world’s largest manufacturer of fire safety products. On Kidde’s website, not only can you learn about their products, you can read all about Fire Safety and Carbon Monoxide Safety . They even have a online product support page!

We were sent three Kidde products to review – I can highly recommend all of them.

The first was the Kidde FX210R Living Area Fire Extinguisher – White:  There are four classes of fire extinguishers (see link for details). The minimum recommendation for the home from the National Fire Protection Association is to have an ABC extinguisher in your home (living area) and your garage. According to my husband (a fire academy grad), this one from Kidde fits the bill perfectly.  Product Description: White Finish Living Area Fire Extinguisher, Fights Fires Common To The Home Living Areas Such As Wood, Fabrics, Furnishings & Drapes, Meets NFPA Recommendations For Primary Home Protection, 10 Year Warranty, Features Bilingual Name Plate & Carton, Features Include Pressure Gauge, Easy To Pull Safety Pin, Rust & Impact Resistant Nylon Handle, UL Rated 2A10BC.

Next up, the Kidde KN-COSM-B Battery-Operated Combination Carbon Monoxide and Smoke Alarm with Talking Alarm (3 AA batteries are required and are included!) Studies show that more than two in three children will sleep through the sound of a regular smoke alarm but will wake up to the sound of their parent’s voice. With two small children, I was excited to get this alarm. And what a great feature that the smoke alarm is combined with a carbon monoxide detector – now we have one on both levels of the house. Did you know that carbon monoxide is the leading cause of accidental poisoning deaths in North America? And because it is odorless, tasteless and invisible, a detector is the only way you have of knowing it’s in your house. And don’t worry about the alarm going off and trying to figure out what the alarm has detected because the voice warning system announces “Fire, Carbon Monoxide, Low Battery or Smart Hush Activation” – eliminating any confusion and clearly warns you and your family of a smoke or carbon monoxide danger, or if your battery is in need of replacement.

Finally we installed the Kidde KN-COPP-B Front Load Battery-Operated Carbon Monoxide Alarm with Digital Display (3 AA batteries are required and are included!) in our kitchen. Product Description The Kidde 900-0146 battery-operated carbon monoxide (CO) alarm uses the patented Nighthawk electrochemical CO sensor to help protect you and your family from the dangers of CO. Easy to install, the 900-0146’s backlit digital display shows CO levels in parts per million and updates every 15 seconds. When the unit is operating properly and hazardous CO levels are not detected, its green LED flashes every 30 seconds. In a CO emergency, the red LED pulses and an 85 db horn sounds at specific intervals until the CO threat is eliminated. Because it’s powered by 3 AA batteries, the 900-0146 is able to provide continuous monitoring of CO levels, even during power outages. – by CPA Mom

Win it! We’re giving away a fire safety kit valued at $100 from Kidde which includes all three of the above mentioned items. Our apologies…US readers only because of the chemical content. To enter, leave a comment on this post before noon mst on February 2, 2009.

    January 27th, 2009 at 8:09 pm

    We installed two different CO detectors in our hall on our second floor and we had to get rid of both of them because the alarm kept sounding (maybe due to a draft or something) when it shouldn’t have. It was awful, giving us weekly panic attacks.
    We have a CO2 detector in the basement by the furnace, I’m hoping that is good enough.

We have already placed alarms and extinguishers in numerous parts of the house, but it seems we need to do a little more. I really would like to do a live demo on how to put out a fire with my family this summer. Hopefully I can win this awesome contest too!

     Kidde is the premium maker of smoke detectors, and CO alarms. I have used Kidde for several years. The warranty on my Co alarm is almost out, but should I win this, I will give it as a gift to one of my kids. Thank you for offering this product and educating the public.

     I wonder if owning this would give me daughter peace of mind. I haved a 4 yr. old that is scared to death of fire. She’s never been close to one or had anything happen involving one but she’s still scared. I picked her up from my sister’s house a couple of weeks ago and she just starts crying in the car. She said she was scared that her toy kitty would burn up in our house fire. I tried to explain to her that fires don’t happen everyday but it didn’t help. She has started having nightmares about them. She breaks me heart.

     Thanks for the giveaway!!

     I just realized by visiting your site we do not have a fire extinguisher at our house. We just moved in last month and I never thought about it. I guess I’m going to have to run out and buy one. Really scary what if a fire started and I couldn’t get to my kids. Thanks for the reminder.
