Elderly & Young Children Home Fires Richmond Petersburg Virginia

Elderly & Home Fires in Richmond VA

• People 65 and older are 2 time's more likely to die in a home fire.

• Children 5 years and younger, as well as adults over 65 are most at risk of injury or death during a home fire.

• The safest way to protect your family and loved ones is a smoke detector attached to a monitored system.

• If you have a smoke detector attached to a monitored alarm system the local fire department will most likely respond faster than if you called the fire department yourself.

• A home fire doubles in size every 20 seconds

• Damage to the home and cost to the homeowner rises exponentially for each minuet a home fire burns

• Time is MOST IMPORTANT when addressing a home fire. Not only can a quick response save lives. A rapid response can save your home from catastrophic damage and save you huge sums of money.

Three reasons why senior adults need a monitored smoke detector

1. Their physical reaction time may be slowed; their sense of sight, hearing and smell may be diminished; and they may be drowsy or disoriented because of medication they are required to take.
2. When a fire starts, the elderly are likely to need more time to escape from a fire area, and may need the assistance of others to do so.
3. Use of effective detecting and alerting systems is estimated to reduce the number of fire-related deaths and injuries by at least 50%.
