Fire Safety

The firetext smoke alarm is a battery powered smoke alarm ‘married’ to a mobile communication device that can store up to four mobile numbers. If the smoke alarm is activated it will send a warning text to those numbers.

The Firetext smoke alarm is stand alone and so can be easily installed with the minimum of fuss and remains active even if mains power to the property is disrupted. This text messaging smoke alarm could bring peace of mind to carers who worry about leaving the person they care for on their own in case they are unable to respond safely or appropriately to a smoke alarm going off.

Firetext trials undertaken by the Alzheimer’s Society and the Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue from September 2009 to 2010 have proved extremely positive with all fire risks detected and averted.

The Firetext smoke alarm costs £89.99 (plus £4.99 postage and packing) and comes with a two-year guarantee. For more information, or to purchase a Firetext alarm, visit www.firetext.me or call 0800 567 7812.
