(EMAILWIRE.COM, December 17, 2009 ) Milwaukee, WI. Bill Driscoll, of DeTech Firesense Technologies, stated "DeTech has saved 263 lives in home fires.  Our nationwide network of independent dealers has combined to save the lives of 263 people so far, but what may be even more impressive is that no DeTech customers' lives have ever been lost.  There are probably a lot more lives our smoke alarms and heat detectors are responsible for saving, but 263 is what we have documented.  We actually have letters from these families at our World Headquarters in Saukville, WI that tell the individual stories.  They are all very moving, but some of them will bring you to tears thinking about what may have happened if not for our dedicated safety consultants and our quality products.  Our smoke detectors do what we say they do and they are built to last with a minimum of maintenance.  That’s not only what people need, but it’s what they want.  No one wants to mess with trying to remember to test their smoke alarms, replace batteries, clean the alarms and replace them every few years.  No one wants to do that…and almost no one will."

"Our exemplary record is intact for several reasons", he explained.  To start with, we believe that educating our potential customers is most important and I don’t know of any other company that spends virtually all of its advertising dollars educating the public the way our local independent dealers do.  We believe and trust that an educated consumer will do the right thing.  When it comes to fire safety, most people know the basics, but what they don’t know is what kills them.  We give families a complete education, we do it for free, and we do it without any obligation to even look at our products.   Our dealers and their safety consultants are very well trained in how to inform people of the latest information and to do it in a common-sense way that is easy to understand… and actually a lot of fun in the process.  All of our representatives are company certified and most are also members of the Educational Section of the NFPA and are certified educators with the U. S. Fire Administration.

Because our dealers take the educational part of our business very seriously, they are trained to point out many hazards in the home that families don’t always recognize as fire hazards.  They are also able to properly locate alarms for our customers.  Many studies indicate that as many as 30% of all smoke detectors may not work simply because they are not located in the optimum place.  We are committed to insuring that is not the case for our customers.

Of course then we get to the quality of alarms.  Most thinking people know that not all products are created equal.  Too often people buy the cheapest thing they can find, but that is rarely true once they know the difference in life-safety that quality makes…and that is well documented and cannot be argued…it’s just that most people are not aware of the facts.  Our products use the latest technology in smoke detection and heat detection and the various products we have give individual families the choice of how much protection they have, but we always do it with the best quality.  That allows us to give 20 and 25 year warranties on our products, but more important, they really will last that long.

DeTech dealers follow the complete recommendations of the NFPA, not just the minimums as most of the codes do.   This includes not only how many alarms, but the need for both smoke alarms and heat detectors, which is the only way to be able to completely cover the entire home from both types of fires, insuring there will be time for escape.  Small thinking people question whether the complete code recommendations are too much, but our philosophy is simple…when there is a fire in your home, it is not possible to know about it too soon!

Abraham Lincoln was once quoted as saying, “Next to creating a life, the finest thing a man can do is to save one.”  We believe that is worth doing everything in our power to take it one step further and “making sure we never lose one”, Mr. Driscoll concluded.
