As part of our emergency preparedness enrichment they were talking about how we should store different types of fuel for emergencies - gasoline, butane, propane, etc. - but then they kept talking about how its really dangerous to store it cause it could basically blow up your whole garage/house. I think I'll choose NOT to store too many gallons of fuel. :)The Kynastonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09128048823261811514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8496142199653745632.post-75274270575104058802008-09-18T15:10:00.000-04:002008-09-18T15:10:00.000-04:00Yup, it was Masterguard alright.

That's when I realized the price was probably going to be through the roof. I was worried at first that I was going to cave in to sales pitch because all the "protecting-your-family-so-they-aren't-burned-alive" propaganda was fresh in my mind but when he passed us the price, it was the easiest "No thanks..." of my life. It was informative, though. And yes, he ended the presentation with the sob story about the family that lost a child. But like Hilary said, we got a free fire extinguisher (with a metal handle) and won the drawing for the fire bat to break out the windows.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08472772316134482758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8496142199653745632.post-16685490491710369852008-09-18T12:55:00.000-04:002008-09-18T12:55:00.000-04:00Hey guys, we're glad to see you updating your blog...Hey guys, we're glad to see you updating your blog.<BR/><BR/>We've been to the same fire safety class (free dinner) twice now. Ours was Masterguard. Funny, our 850 sq ft condo was going to be $2500. <BR/><BR/>Did they give you same sob story about the family who went to the class and then lost a child in a fire the next day after they turned down the home inspection? <BR/><BR/>They also asked us to promise not to tell anyone the price because we shouldn't scare them off. <BR/><BR/>I did some research before the guy came over and I found out that they funded the study that they keep quoting in the presentation. I asked for some other studies or comparisons and the guy said his boss would call me back. He never did. There are no legitimate comparison studies with these smoke detectors. <BR/><BR/>At least the class has some useful fire safety information. It got me to research fire alarms. We ended up buying some First Alert smoke detectors. They have the dual sensors that detect both smoldering and flaming fires.<BR/><BR/>Here's their webpage: http://www.firstalert.com/smoke_alarms_item.php?pid=3<BR/><BR/>They also cost about $20 versus $500 each for the Masterguards.<BR/><BR/>Wow, maybe I should make my own blog post about smoke detectors.Derekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08477730878954799400noreply@blogger.com
