Smoke Alarm Safety

(SCOTTSBLUFF, Neb.) — Panhandle Scanner’s Exclusive security alarm sponsor gave a helping hand to our Scottsbluff Fire Department recently.

From Scottsbluff Fire

“Did you know your average smoke alarm is not adequate for a person who is deaf or hard of hearing?

Today we had the opportunity to work with Tiffany from the Nebraska Commission for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing to test out smoke alarms in a residence’s home who is not only hard of hearing, but is also blind.

It was a great learning experience for everyone to see how the smoke alarms integrates with the equipment to alert the occupant.

We also want to extend a thank you to Alarm Security Technicians for taking time out of their day to assist with testing, and providing guidance on their system as well!”
