How the  HOME FIRE  FIRE PREVENTION KIT works:
The HOME FIRE™  Fire Prevention Kit  has been created as the central product that will spearhead our "STOP THE FIRES" campaign. The goal of this campaign is to completely eliminate death by fire in the home. We will accomplish this by targeting what we have identified as the "DEATH FACTORS" of fire. There are TWO primary FACTS that we have known for some time that are NOT well known by the general public. Therefore, the first order of business is to educate you about these two central points that will help you identify clearly what the "DEATH FACTORS" of fire are.

FACT ONE...

Person sleeping in smoke.WE ALL COMPLETELY LOSE OUR SENSE OF SMELL WHEN WE SLEEP !
 This is a physiological fact! That is why most deaths by fire occur at night. That is also why most deaths are caused by smoke and gas inhalation, not flames. (In fact, smoldering can create gases that can sedate you and then kill you BEFORE a fire even develops!)

FACT TWO...

Our homes are designed to Burn  QUICKLY AND EFFICIENTLY! That's right!  THEY ARE "DESIGNED" TO BURN!

Here's why.....

Remember learning how to build a campfire when you were a child on that first camping trip? Remember the instructions? Didn't they tell us to LEAN several sticks together and gather them at the top? But, that was only part of the story. You couldn't light that very easily, could you? Then, you were taught the SECRET of the campfire. KINDLING! You were taught to place paper, twigs, etc. UNDER the sticks. Now the whole thing could be set ablaze in seconds with.... ONE SMALL MATCH!

Now, look at any house being framed. Looks familiar doesn't it? And, just like a campfire, you can't easily burn a frame of heavy lumber. However, we change all that when we move in with our stuffed furniture, mattresses, boxsprings, curtains, skirts around our beds, and so on. We have now provided the KINDLING that sets the fire trap. As absurd as it sounds...

WE ALL LIVE IN PERFECTLY DESIGNED, GIANT, CAMPFIRES!

Campfire and home under construction - both are campfires !That is why we so often see people on the news who are in shock at how quickly their home burned to the ground. In some cases, they left a room for only a couple of minutes. Now you know the reason: Campfires are designed to burn quickly.

Now that you are armed with the above two facts, you can begin to learn how to transform your home from the giant CAMPFIRE that it now is, to the safe, protective environment that it should be.

To take this subject a little further, you must understand that your home, like a campfire, is very difficult to burn without the kindling! As example, if your home were completed but you had not begun to move anything into it yet, you could go in with a cigarette lighter or matches and you would have an EXTREMELY difficult time getting that house to burn! This surprises many people, but it's true. In fact, we have tried this with a propane torch and found that to light a 2 by 4 pine framing member takes 10-15 minutes with the torch on one spot! Even then, if you do manage to keep it burning, the flame often goes out in a few minutes anyway. That is because the wood AROUND the torch flame has to be heated to over 450 degrees Fahrenheit before the flammable gases come out of the wood freely so it can remain on fire WITHOUT the flame SOURCE (torch). This can't happen unless something more flammable is in the vicinity of the wood to heat up the air.

One torch can't do this. Once the flame is removed, even after several minutes of attempting to light the lumber, the heat quickly dissipates and the flame flickers and dies.

Campfire burning.This principle is the same with sheetrock and even most carpets. Our demonstration videos show a torch flame on the surface of lumber, sheetrock and several types of carpet for several minutes at a time, with the flames simply DYING OUT once the torch is removed. The carpet surprises MANY people when we demonstrate this. It is because there is no air circulation underneath the carpet and that it is very difficult to start a fire there. Once again, as with the lumber, the air temperature needs to be very hot in order for the carpet to remain on fire.

Chair burningWhat all this means is that the "DEATH FACTORS" we will be identifying here do not lie in the construction materials of the house, but in the KINDLING. That is, your furniture and curtains along with a few other "target" items that we will identify for you. It bears repeating for clarity that: "WITHOUT KINDLING, CAMPFIRES ARE VERY VERY DIFFICULT TO START". What you are about to learn is how to transform all of that "kindling" into safe furnishings and interior decor for your family!


FROM THIS...                         TO THIS...

Curtain BurningCurtain that does not catch fire with a lighter held on it.

Then you and yours will truly be able to sleep peacefully at night knowing you no longer sleep inside of a death trap, but a safe, protective environment that a home should be. Further, you'll know that when you are asleep (and most vulnerable) these treatments will be working silently to help keep the deadly smoke and gases from developing during the night.

The fact is, when you have completed the applications described in this kit, it will be very difficult for a fire to start in your home, even if someone were to TRY to set fire to it !  So, let's roll up our sleeves and get on with the transformation of your home.
