Testimonial
While stationed at Loring AFB, ME in 1976 I had a close call that
could have taken my life and the life of my wife and new baby boy
as well. Around 7 or 8 pm my wife and new baby went upstairs to go
to bed. While they were asleep I decided to put a couple of
hotdogs on the stove to cook. I fell asleep and needless to say
the hotdogs started to burn. I awoke to a house full of smoke so
thick I could not see my hand in front of my face. Through the
grace of God we were able to get out alive.
Several years later my cousin was overcome with carbon monoxide
and lost her life while resting in the basement of her home. I
know that in BOTH cases the Smart Switch product and
technology could have helped and had this product been around then
I'm sure I would have a much better story to tell.

Facts
About Fires
Cooking fires are the #1 of home fires and home fire injuries. In 2005,
cooking equipment was involved in 146,400 reported home structure fires,
the largest share for any major cause. These fires resulted in 480
civilian deaths, 4,690 civilian injuries, and $876 million in direct
property damage.
The
majority of home fires – 40% – start in the kitchen. Unattended cooking
is the leading factor contributing to ignition in home cooking fires,
accounting for one-third of such fires. More than half of all cooking
fire injuries occurred when people tried to fight the fire themselves.
Most home cooking fires (67%) in 2005 started with the range or stove.
Electric ranges or stoves have a higher risk of fires, deaths, injuries
and property damage, compared to gas ranges or
stoves.
Why Smart Technology?
*FEMA: 2004-2006 there were 1.21 million residential fires, 8,900 deaths
and 40,925 injuries.
*CDC: On average in the U.S. someone dies in a fire about every 162
minutes and someone was injured every 32 minutes.
*CDC: The U.S. mortality rate from fires ranks 6th among developed
countries for which stats were available.
More Facts
About Fires
Electrical distribution and lighting equipment were involved in an
estimated 20,900 reported home fires in 2005. These fires resulted in
500 civilian deaths and 1,100 injuries, with an estimated $862 million
in direct property damage per year. Lamps, light fixtures, and light
bulbs accounted for the largest share of 2002-2005 non-confined fires
among major types of electrical distribution equipment, while cords and
plugs accounted for the largest share of civilian fire deaths.
Extension
cord fires outnumbered fires beginning with attached or unattached power
cords by more than two-to-one. Cords and plugs were involved in
one-eighth (12%) of the 2002-2005 home electrical distribution and
lighting equipment fires, but roughly two-fifths (39%) of associated
civilian deaths.
 Why Smart Technology
For Your Family?
There is NO other product on the market that offers this extra,
critical, level of ACTIVE protection against appliances igniting to fire. Smoke
detectors combined with the
HG™ Smart Switch™ form a dynamic duo addressing potential fire
hazards.
More Facts About Fires
Smoking materials (i.e., cigarettes, cigars, pipes, etc.) are the
leading cause of fire deaths in the United States. Roughly one of every
four fire deaths per year in 2002-2005 was attributed to smoking
materials. In 2002-2005, there were an estimated 82,400 smoking-material
fires per year in the United States. These fires caused 800
civilian deaths and 1,660 civilian injuries.
Older
adults are at the highest risk of death or injury from
smoking-material fires even though they are less likely to smoke
than younger adults. The most common material first ignited in home
smoking-material fire deaths were mattresses and bedding and
upholstered furniture. In Canada, there were 7,700 fires in 2002
associated with
smoking materials. These fires caused 140 civilian deaths, 470 civilian
injuries and direct property damage of $132 million Canadian ($84
million U.S.). Candles
During 2005, an estimated 15,600 home structure fires started by candles
were reported to local fire departments. These fires resulted in an
estimated 150 civilian deaths, 1,270 civilian injuries and an estimated
direct property loss of $539 million. Homes include dwellings, duplexes,
manufactured housing and apartments.
Although
home candle fires fell 8% from 2004 to 2005, more than twice as
many were reported in 2005 as in 1990. Candle fires accounted for an
estimated 4% of all reported
home fires in 2005. The top five days for home candle fires were
Christmas, Christmas Eve, New Year’s Day, New Year’s Eve, and Halloween.
But there's even more to learn!
Here's more information on home fires, heating, smoke alarms, home
escape planning, and home fire sprinkler systems.
In 2006, there were an estimated 396,000 reported home structure
fires resulting in 2,580 civilian deaths and 12,500 civilian
injuries and $6.8 billion in direct damage in the
United States .Home fires caused 80% of civilian deaths and 76% of
injuries.
Heating equipment and smoking are the leading causes of civilian home
fire deaths.
January and December were the peak months for home fires and home fire
deaths.
More than
half of all home fire deaths result from incidents reported between
11:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m., but only 20% of home fires occur between these
hours. Children under 5 and older adults face the highest risk of home
fire death, but young adults face a higher risk of home fire injury.
Heating fires are the second-leading cause of home fires. In
2005, heating equipment was involved in 62,200 reported U.S. home
structure fires, with associated losses of 670 civilian deaths, 1,550
civilian injuries, and $909 million in direct property damage.
Nearly half (44%) of all home heating fires occurred in December,
January and February in 2002-2005. Heating equipment fires accounted for
16% of all reported home
fires in 2005 (second behind cooking) and 22% of home fire deaths.
Space heaters,
excluding fireplaces, chimneys, and chimney connectors, were involved in
one-third (32%) of the home heating fires but three-fourths (73%) of the
deaths in 2005. Between 2002-2005, the leading factor contributing to
home heating fires (27%) and deaths (53%) was heating equipment too
close to things that can burn, such as upholstered furniture, clothing,
mattress, or bedding. This excludes fires reported
as confined fires.
Working
smoke alarms cut the risk of dying in reported home structure fires
in half. A 2004 U.S. telephone survey found that 96% of U.S. households
had at least one smoke alarm, yet in 2000-2004, no smoke alarms were
present or none operated in almost half (46%) of the reported home
fires. An estimated 890 lives could be saved each year if all
homes had working smoke alarms. 65% of reported home fire deaths in
2000-2004 resulted from fires in homes with no smoke alarms or no
working smoke alarms.
The fire
death rate in homes with working smoke alarms is 51% less than the rate
for homes without this protection. In one out of every five homes
equipped with at least one smoke alarm installed, not a single one was
working. When smoke alarms fail it is most often because of missing,
disconnected or dead batteries. Nuisance activations were the leading
cause of disabled smoke alarms.
According
to a 2004 NFPA survey, two in three (66%) Americans have actually
developed a home fire escape plan to ensure they could escape quickly
and safely. Of these, only about one third (35%) have practiced their
plans.
More than one out of every four American households who made an estimate
thought they would have at least 6 minutes before a fire in their home
would become life-threatening. The time available is often less. People
under the age of 34 are less likely than those who are older to have
escape plans.
The HG™ Smart Switch™ actually takes that next vital step in
active prevention – shutting off power to the appliance posing a
potential fire risk. We feel EVERY family deserves the highest level of protection
available; Don't You?
YES WE ARE GREEN!!
