FIRE SAFETY

Last night we went to a workshop where an ex-fireman gave a wonderful talk on fire safety. He was informative, funny and very low pressure. He mentioned the name of the company whose things he sold. We then had a free dinner (Lin's for those of you local).

He'll be coming to our home tonight. We realized we could do a lot more in this realm and he's going to help us formulate a plan, try to sell us smoke, carbon and fire alarms (theirs are much different than the ones at Wal-mart). I hadn't realized how many really unsafe fire hazards we have around here.

Also - he was showing how they don't recommend you put your face to the ground anymore because there are so many toxic things in our home....carpet pad being one and that it releases a leathal gas when it burns....well that was the ONLY thing I knew about fire safety and it was out the window. {sigh}

Mike wants me to try to find out how much they are asking for their products. I found their website www.masterguard.com but I can't find a listing of prices anywhere (bad sign). Has anyone ever bought any of these products? Do you have a clue as to price?
