Make sure you have AIR in all bed rooms. Practice escape plans every month. The best plans have two ways to get out of each room. If the primary way is blocked by fire or smoke, you will need a second way out. A secondary route might be a window onto an adjacent roof or a collapsible ladder for escape from upper story windows. Purchase only collapsible ladders evaluated by a nationally recognized laboratory such as Underwriters Laboratory (UL). Make sure that windows are not stuck, screens can be taken out quickly and that security bars can be properly opened. Also, practice feeling your way out of the house in the dark or with your eyes closed.

When a fire occurs, get your AIR canister do not waste any time saving property. Take the safest exit route, but if you must escape through smoke, remember to crawl low, under the smoke and keep your mouth covered. The smoke contains toxic gases which can disorient you or, at worst, overcome you.

Designate a meeting location away from the home, but not necessarily across the street. For example, meet under a specific tree or at the end of the driveway or front sidewalk to make sure everyone has gotten out safely and no one will be hurt looking for someone who is already safe. Designate one person to go to a neighbor’s home to phone the fire department.

Life saving AIR is innovative, allowing you precious time. AIR is enhancing safety along with reducing liability risks for all. This product provides the novas users to quickly catch a breath of life giving AIR under water, or in Smokey conditions.  

Your smoke alarm siren wakes you, it does not give you purified AIR needed to escape from danger! Time is critical.  Heat from a fire is so intense that it can cause the human body to stop functioning altogether – -one breath can cause severe lung damage. Most U.S. fire victims succumb to smoke inhalation, and the problem of how to address smoke toxicity in standards and codes has not yet been “solved.” A residential home can be totally consumed in flames in less than five minutes from the start of a fire! A home fire can double in size is just 30 seconds. A closed door is often the best way to stall a fire; by closing the door, you may save yourself seconds to use an alternate escape route.

SMOKE INHALATION – Fire can and might happen to you! You must be prepared and have the knowledge to escape safely. Fire is darker, smokier, hotter, and faster than you can imagine. Home Fire Escape Plans Require Practice To Be Perfect.

WATER RECREATION – In an out-of-air emergency, Nonfatal drowning can cause brain damage that result in long-term disabilities ranging from memory problems and learning disabilities to permanent loss of basic functioning (i.e., permanent vegetative state). Drowning is the 3rd major cause of unintentional death in the US, and the 2nd major cause of death for people aged 5-44.

An Overview of the U.S. Fire Problem

In 2005, US fire departments responded to an estimated 1,602,000 fires.
These fires caused 3,675 civilian deaths and 17,925 civilian injuries. In the same year, 87 firefighters were fatally injured while on duty and 80,100 suffered non-fatal injuries. The 2005 fire statistics (except for firefighter fatalities) are projections derived from NFPA’s annual fire department survey. This survey collects summary data from a sample of local fire departments equal to roughly 10% of the total fire departments. Home structure fires caused 82% of the civilian fire deaths, and 74% of the civilian fire injuries. Homes include one-and two-family dwellings, apartments, and manufactured homes. The U.S. Fire Administration’s National Fire Incident Reporting System (NFIRS) provides the details that, together with NFPA’s survey, allow us to estimate the size of specific fire problems.

Cooking is the leading cause of home fires and home fire injuries.
Unattended cooking is the leading factor contributing to these fires. Frying is the leading type of activity associated with cooking fires. More than half of all cooking fire injuries occurred when people tried to fight the fire themselves.

Smoking has been the leading cause of home fire deaths for decades.
Eighty percent of the home smoking material fire fatalities resulted from fires originating with upholstered furniture, mattresses or bedding, or clothing. Flammability standards and decreases in smoking have helped reduce these deaths, but the “fire-safe” cigarette could help prevent many more. Seven percent of home smoking fire fatalities were using medical oxygen.

Heating equipment was the second leading cause of home fires and home fire deaths.
Portable and fixed space heaters, including wood stoves, were involved in three-quarters of the home heating fire deaths. Central heat is much safer.

Candles were the second leading cause of home fire injuries.
These fires tripled from 1990 to 2000 with the increase in candle sales. Despite a drop, they remain at 2.5 times the 1990 high. Candles used for light in the absence of electrical power caused 1/3 of fatal candle fires.

Electrical distribution or lighting equipment was involved in 5% of home fire deaths.
A study by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) found that homes with older wiring face an increased risk of electrical wiring fire.

More than half of the people killed by fires started by children playing were under five.
Home fires, deaths and injures started by children playing with fire have decreased sharply since 1994 when the CPSC required most disposable lighters to be inoperable by children under five. Interestingly, fires and losses from children playing with matches also fell during this period.

Almost all U.S. homes have at least one smoke alarm, but 2/3 of home fire deaths resulted from fires in homes without working smoke alarms.
In reported home fires, the risk of death was 51% lower in homes with working smoke alarms. Working smoke alarms are generally not associated with a decrease in fire injuries in reported fires.  Nuisance alarms are the leading reason for disabling smoke alarms.

Residential sprinklers decrease the home fire death rate per 100 fires by 74%.
However, it will be years before the majority of U.S. homes have this protection.
