This year, the holiday season coincides with the upcoming national holiday, Fire Safety Month (October). As we approach the Jewish holidays, it is imperative that every family keep in mind the disaster in Brooklyn earlier this year that killed seven children on Shabbat, which was started by a hot plate used to warm food, and think about fire prevention and safety as we prepare our homes for hosting.
Jeffrey Zwirn, President of Intruder Detection System (IDS) in Tenafly (www.alarmexpert.com) has been in business for over 40 years, designing, installing, maintaining and monitoring security systems, and is a nationally recognized expert in alarms and fire prevention. According to his research 80 percent of homes, just like the Brooklyn home, do not have properly designed, installed, monitored and maintained alarm system on the premises, making many tragedies likely avoidable. Unknowingly, fire alarm systems that are installed beyond their functional and reliable life expectancy in homes and apartments are being relied upon by consumers and their families. Because of this, it is most important that fire alarm systems be tested and maintained at least on a yearly basis by a qualified professional.
