Help please… does anyone know of a relatively inexpensive way of installing a sprinkler system?
or some other kind of alert (I was given the suggestion to install a security system that also monitors for fire). Now a friend tells me these fail if the power goes out. The reason I ask is that I recently had a house fire that left my home unlivable and destroyed all my possessions, also took some of my pets. I had taken all the precautions one would think necessary, several working smoke alarms including a hard wired one, and co2 alarms on each floor. The fire broke out during the day when neighbors were at work or school. No one was around to hear the alarms. (the houses on my street are not that close together and it is winter where I live so all windows were shut. Now I am staying in a hotel but I will be going back to live on my own at some point. I am now terrified of another fire. This was totally accidental. They think the refrigerator started the fire or wiring in the wall, it is still under investigation.. the point being it can happen to any one at any time. Just to mention I am a nonsmoker and have always been almost ocd at checking everything several times before I leave the house and yet this still happened….. I am looking for suggestions of something I could put in place relatively inexpensively. I will get some insurance money for my belongings and I want to put it toward making sure this never happens again. Bless you for any suggestions and have a great New Year.
