One of the most significant dangers to any home or building is fire. Because of this, building codes require all buildings to be equipped with fire alarms to alert the occupants when a fire has broken out.
Our team at Carolina Security Technologies has extensive experience in working with fire alarms, and we strongly recommend investing in not only high-quality alarm units, but also in fire alarm monitoring services. Below, we’ll go over a few reasons why we encourage you to have your alarms monitored.
- Constant Surveillance – What good does a fire alarm do if no one is in the building to hear when it goes off? In some ways, having no one present in a building when a fire begins is the ideal scenario, as no one will be hurt. However, in this situation, there will be no one to call the fire department to put out the blaze, so the property damage is likely to be worse. Using a fire alarm monitoring company is the best way to preserve your building in the event of a fire. Even if no one is at the building, your alarm monitoring experts will respond to the situation and alert the fire department right away.
- Fast Response – As we alluded to above, the other main reason to use fire alarm monitoring services is to ensure emergency services can respond to the situation as soon as possible. When the monitoring company gets an alert that the alarm is going off, they will send firefighters to your location right away. Even if you are busy evacuating or forget to make the call yourself due to the chaos of the situation, you can count on your alarm monitors to call for help for you.
