Home security monitoring is the best option for keeping pets safe from fire. The moment the smoke or fire detectors are activated, your ADT Customer Monitoring center is notified. They immediately call the local fire department, and help is dispatched.
It's also important to place "Rescue Pets Inside" decals on your doors and windows, to let fire fighters know that you have pets inside your home.
One Sunday morning, Lia and her family left "Justice" - their Labrador Retriever - home alone. They didn't realize that they had also left a pot of boiling water with plastic baby bottles on the stove. When the water boiled off, the bottles began to emit a toxic smoke. No one knew Justice was in trouble because there were no flames.
Luckily, the Wentworth’s had an ADT monitored smoke detector and the firefighters were alerted. Their prompt response saved Justice's life.
"After ADT notified us that the fire alarm had been activated, we turned and rushed for home. We had only one thought the whole way home, and that was for the fate of our beloved pet. The minutes passed like hours trying to get home to him," Wentworth said.
"I can't describe the feelings of relief and gratitude when I saw Justice playing with the firefighters in front of our home. Along with smoke alarms, I encourage everyone to have a home fire monitoring system. Ours was there when we couldn't be, and called for help because Justice couldn't. Without that system, there would literally be "no Justice" in this world."
Don't wait until you've become a victim.
