Whois & Analysis for firstalert.com

First Alert is an American safety brand company, based in Aurora, Illinois.

They make carbon monoxide detectors, smoke alarms, fire extinguishers, and other safety products like flashlights and fire escape ladders.

They support fire safety in partnership with Safe Kids USA and The United States Fire Administration, providing smoke alarms at reduced cost to low-income families in the United States.

A carbon monoxide detector or CO detector is a device that detects the presence of the carbon monoxide (CO) gas in order to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning.

In the late 1990s Underwriters Laboratories (UL) changed their definition of a single station CO detector with a sound device in it to a carbon monoxide (CO) alarm.

This applies to all CO safety alarms that meet UL 2034; however for passive indicators and system devices that meet UL 2075, UL refers to these as carbon monoxide detectors.

CO is a colorless, tasteless and odorless compound produced by incomplete combustion of carbon-containing materials.

It is often referred to as the "silent killer" because it is virtually undetectable without using detection technology and, in a study by Underwriters Laboratories, "Sixty percent of Americans could not identify any potential signs of a CO leak in the home".

Elevated levels of CO can be dangerous to humans depending on the amount present and length of exposure.

Smaller concentrations can be harmful over longer periods of time while increasing concentrations require diminishing exposure times to be harmful.

A smoke detector is a device that senses smoke, typically as an indicator of fire.

Commercial security devices issue a signal to a fire alarm control panel as part of a fire alarm system, while household smoke detectors, also known as smoke alarms, generally issue a local audible or visual alarm from the detector itself.

Fire safety is the set of practices intended to reduce the destruction caused by fire.

Fire safety measures include those that are intended to prevent ignition of an uncontrolled fire, and those that are used to limit the development and effects of a fire after it starts.

A brand (or marque for car model) is a name, term, design, symbol, or other feature that distinguishes one seller’s product from those of others.

Brands are used in business, marketing, and advertising.
