For kids too

A study was done that found that more than 80 percent of children between the ages of 2 and 13 did not wake up from a standard issue alarm.

The American Red Cross warns home fires are one of the biggest disaster threats in the U.S., with on average seven people dying and 36 people suffering injuries every day as a result of home fires.

“Good Morning America” decided to observe whether a regular smoke alarm would wake up two sleeping children with the McBride family from Connecticut.

Lauren McBride told ABC News that she was curious to see what happened “because our son sleeps through everything.”

She added that she and her husband, Pat, have an action plan in place in case there is a fire and have taught their children, Landon, 3, and Noelle, 1, what a smoke detector sounds like.

“He knows the sound,” McBride said of her son. “We have a fire ladder in our bedroom and our plan is to get them, get the ladder, and get out.”

 

Vibealert can be used as a smoke alarm for kids or for anyone that may not hear or acknowledge a regular smoke alarm.   And can still be used by those who can hear it.
