It sounds incredible but a standard smoke alarm would not wake a high percentage of children aged 6-15 in a house fire, because the sound fails to wake them. The elderly, infirm or simply heavy sleepers are also more at risk and may not wake up in the event of a fire. Most people test a smoke or CO alarm when awake and have no real idea if they would actually hear or how they would react late at night to the sound of a smoke or CO detectors or how disorientated you would become without the use of an escape torch.
FireAngel have just introduced a brand new Wi-Safe alarm system aimed directly at solving this problem the Wi-Safe handset could buy you precious seconds by waking you up sooner and helping you to get out.

The key to Wi-Safe is the warning handset. The portable handset can be placed anywhere in your home but typically by your bed. If a Wi-Safe smoke alarms or Wi-safe CO alarms elsewhere in your home the handset will automatically alarm and flash by your bedside. Now that you are wake you need to get out. By removing the handset from its base it automatically converts to an escape torch to help you and your family escape any danger, with an intermittent sound to act as a locator in the event that you are overcome by fumes.

Installation could not be simpler, The Wi-Safe detectors are battery operated with the portable handset simply moved and plugged into a normal household plug socket anywhere needed in the house. You can install detectors or handsets in as many rooms as you like and the system takes a matter of minutes to be ready and protecting what you value most.

Starting at under £30, can you afford not to make your home Wi-Safe?
