Smoke alarms saved family of 7 from late night house fire in Wellington, USA.
Monitored smoke detectors saved a family of seven from a fire that ravaged their Wellington home in USA late Tuesday night.
A fire broke out just before midnight on Pacer Circle in the Pinewood neighborhood, Palm Beach, USA. County Fire-Rescue spokesman Capt. Don DeLucia said this morning, 'The fire was reported by the monitoring station who said five children lived in the home'.
Palm Beach County firefighters on the scene Tuesday night told TV channel CBS12 the home's fire detectors which were linked into a Monitored Intruder Alarm System, woke the family but more importantly alerted the Fire Rescue, allowing them to escape. The fire took about a half-hour to contain, and did heavy damage to the home.
Local officers said they did not want to even think about what may have happened if they wouldn't have had a Monitored Intruder Alarm System with Smoke Detectors linked in.
