 Fire
Systems
A
fire is an extremely devastating occurrence that
can ruin a home or business in a matter of
minutes. Prevention is key to protecting a home
or business from the destruction of a fire.
Rampart Security’s fire protection can alert
your family or employees when the threat of fire
occurs. To receive your free consultation with
a member of the Rampart Security sales team, call
724-836-0900.
 Smoke Detectors
Using smoke detectors in a home or business will alert the Central
Station as soon as smoke is detected by the device. We recommend at
minimum placing 1 smoke detector on every floor of the house or business. It
is strongly recommended placing smoke detectors in bedrooms, hallways, and
stairways.
 Heat Detectors
Heat detectors are optimal for areas that a smoke detector would normally
be activated frequently. These areas include kitchens, garages, and bathrooms.
The heat detector will trigger when a pre-determined temperature is reached at the device.
 Carbon Monoxide Detectors
Placing carbon monoxide detectors in your home or
business can prevent illness or death from this
silent killer. Carbon monoxide is a very
dangerous gas that can be deadly without a
person’s knowledge of the gas being in the area.
Carbon monoxide detectors should be placed in
centralized areas to alert everyone when the
possibility of this odorless gas has entered the
area.
