[F894]Frey Save A Life

by Mike Chow, Mik

Originally designed for keeping in touch, today's cellphones are nifty feature rich communication devices that not only come equipped with an incredible array of functions to increase your productivity and entertainment experiences but also with the ability to save your life. Hence, in this article we examine ways in which the modern cellphone can be used as a survival tool.

Bullet Protection
The metal casing found in today's cellphones is not only great for keeping away scratches, but can also be used to deflect bullets. Take the case of Darren Prior, a jewelry attendant who credited his cellphone for saving his life during a botched robbery.

Flash Light
The bright display screen found in today's cellphones not only makes it easy to use the device in the dark but also allows the cellphone to be used as a portable torch, like in the case of the two stranded hikers who had used their cellphone display screens as glow sticks to direct rescue helicopters to their location.

Personal Surveillance System
Many cellphones now come equipped with a camera which are not only good for snapping personal pictures but can also be used as a personal surveillance device to help protect you from unforeseen incidents, such as a pervert on the subway, a robbery suspect and a would be kidnapper.

Silent Alarm
Apart from keeping in touch, the text messaging ability is a great feature that is not only simple to use but also discrete. This is especially useful if you need to send out a silent alarm, like in the case of a kidnapped boy who secretly text messaged his parents.

Location Finder
Many new cellphones come with a built in GPS. Not only does this technology allow parents to spy on their kids but can also be used a GPS system to find your exact location. Like in the case of the standard couple whose cellphone GPS capabilities enabled Emergency 911 operators to relay their location to on ground rescuers.

Now we have fire alarms that can sense when there is a fire nearby. By sensing smoke, it sets off the alarms, which turns on the sprinklers and puts out the fires, stopping it in its tracks and preventing it from spreading to other parts of the building or other homes.

These alarms are designed to keep people safe. They are in your homes, offices, schools, churches, police departments, stores, hospital, etc. A fire is very dangerous and can be caused by a candle left unattended or a faulty gas pipe, and it can happen at any given moment. It is required that you have a fire alarm system in your building.

It is the law. Plus it's a good idea to keep anyone from getting hurt, burned, or even killed. If the spinklers can't extinguish the fire completely, it will help us maintain the fire so the firefighters can put it out. This is an Early Suppression Fast Response (ESFR) high-tech sprinkler.

There are areas in which water cannot be used because of certain materials. These materials are called dry systems. Unless it is a very big emergency, then it responds to smoke and heat detectors to see if water is needed for the area.

The technology we have today is really exciting to know about, and information about these new systems can be obtained from these companies. They can tell you how it really works, how it's installed, how they came about, and how it was built. For years these systems have saved many lives, and it will keep doing so until they come out with new sprinklers that will zap out a fire. But for right now, we use alarms.

Our alarms have sensors that know which sprinklers to operate and which ones not to. It also knows how to read temperatures by sensing it. The alarms itself goes off just by any kind of smoke in the air. If you have an alarm system in your home, you can sleep at night knowing that it will protect you and your loved ones from fires. If you don't have an alarm system in your home, go get one installed right away. This is a very big factor you must have in your home for the safety of everyone when a fire comes.
