Are YOU Skimping on Fire Safety?

<h1>Are YOU Skimping on Fire Safety?</h1>Author: <a title="FireStop09" href="http://www.articlesbase.com/authors/firestop09/283231.htm">FireStop09</a> In apartment buildings, the accidents of others, like a fire on a neighbor's stove, can destroy your property and take lives. Kitchens are, in fact, the leading area of origin for home structure fires, and a fire starts in an apartment building every six minutes. While your apartment likely has a smoke detector or a fire extinguisher, they alone may not be enough to stop a fire from spreading. From 2003 through 2006, more than one-third of residential fire deaths occurred in homes with smoke detectors. And while working smoke detectors will alert you to a fire, they will not stop it; even fire extinguishers may require you to get dangerously close to the flames. Your apartment may be overlooking one of the most important fire safety devices: an automatic stovetop fire suppressionsystem. What every apartment needs—but rarely has—an automatic stovetop fire suppression system puts out unattended cooking fires before they have a chance to spread. Several options exist, but the most accessible and affordable is the StoveTop FireStop. StoveTop FireStop, about the size of a tuna can, attaches to the underside of the venthood via a magnet and releases a fire suppressing powder when flame activated. If a resident walks away from the kitchen and accidentally starts a fire, it won’t spread past the cooktop. StoveTop FireStop will stop it in its tracks. For approximately $56.95 (or less) per kitchen, StoveTop FireStop is sensible, and certainly more affordable than the cost of a fire.
