In a fire, the seconds between early detection and delayed action often determine the outcome. According to the National Fire Protection Association, most fatal home fire victims were caught in the ignition area or were asleep and unable to respond.

Every facility manager knows that fire safety is not just a line item on a checklist but a constant responsibility. Warehouses and large commercial spaces face unique risks that change depending on staffing levels, time of day, and the type of materials stored. 

When it comes to fire protection in large, complex environments, the details matter. Three out of five fire-related deaths occur in homes without working smoke alarms, according to the NFPA. This statistic shows the consequences of incomplete or unreliable detection. 

In most fatal fires, smoke detection gives you your best chance of survival before flames spread, and the CBC reports that people often have only seconds to escape once a fire starts.
