 The autonomous fire alarm is an accessible and highly effective means of early fire detection, saving thousands of lives.

Since 2002, the mass implementation of the device has begun in Belarus. During this time, thanks to the work of fire alarms, more than 2,700 lives have been saved.

Last year, 67 people were saved in the country, including 14 children. In the Vitebsk region, three people received a chance for a "second life".

The principle of operation of the alarm is quite simple: it reacts to the slightest concentration of smoke and alerts people to danger with a piercing sound signal, allowing them to evacuate in time and save property.

The device is quite simple to install and operate. It is mounted using two screws on the ceiling or wall, at a distance of no more than 30 cm from the ceiling, and operates on a standard "Krona" battery. During the operation of the device, it is important to remember that the power element needs to be replaced regularly. The device will notify when it is time, emitting intermittent sound signals.

Today, it is impossible to eliminate the risk of fire in a house or apartment, given the high fire load and the significantly increased number of electrical appliances. Installing an autonomous fire alarm is a practical way to detect a fire at an early stage and take timely measures to extinguish it or leave the danger zone.

The Ministry of Emergency Situations is launching a large-scale information campaign about the effectiveness of using fire alarms. The main goal is to remind people that nothing is more valuable than a child's life! Take care of the safety of your loved ones – install an autonomous fire alarm.
