According to National Fire Protection Association statistics 43% of home fire deaths occurred in homes without smoke detectors. There were 381,500 residential fires and $4.3 billion in direct property damage in 1998. The National Fire Alarm Code now required smoke detectors be installed in each sleeping room, outside of each separate sleeping area such as a hallway on each level of the house including the basement. Wireless smoke detectors install easily in your home and can be added to your Lynx Package at any time.
