Home burglary can happen anywhere.

In the United States today, burglars enter a house, apartment or condominium every 10 seconds. Even worse, 40% of all violent crimes take place in the home start as a would-be burglary attempt. This is because the intruder found someone at home or the homeowner unexpectedly walked in during a burglary.

Federal crime data shows that without security systems are about 3 times more likely to be broken into than homes with security systems. Many homeowners don’t realize how vulnerable they are in their own home until it’s too late.

The good news is that burglaries can be prevented. You can deter a thief by making his job, not only difficult, but also time consuming.

Sixty-five percent of all burglaries involve forcible entry. The longer the break-in takes the better the chances are that the burglar could be caught. So in most instances, he will move on to an easier target.

FIRE THE DESTROYER

Fire. It’s One of The Greatest Threats To your Home and Family. Because it has the potential to destroy everything in its path in minutes, early notification is key. The sooner you’re aware of a fire, the sooner you can save your life and the lives of your loved ones. Most victims die from smoke, not the flames. The reason for this is because, as a fire burns, it absorbs the oxygen we need and spews poisonous gas into the air.
