Home oxygen therapy is prescribed to patients with long-term cardiac or respiratory conditions, and is delivered in a variety of forms, including liquid oxygen in pressurized containers, an oxygen concentrator that filters oxygen from the surrounding atmosphere, or compressed gas in cylinder form.

Home oxygen fires claim a life every four days in the US, new study reveals

The installation of VADs in sites where occupants must wear hearing protection, like manufacturing facilities with high ambient noise, can help get occupant attention more quickly so evacuations begin sooner.

Addressable fire alarm devices can enable faster reaction time for earlier evacuation
