Grand Opening of Firesharp.com Simplifies Fire Safety in the Home

Firesharp has launched a unique home and family fire protection E-commerce store to share its staff's expert advice concerning fire safety basics and to give consumers the ability to search for recommended fire safety products for every room in a home.

(PRWEB) June 20, 2007 -- To promote fire safety in the home, Firesharp recently launched its E-commerce Web site that sells fire safety products. Customers get more than great products, though; they also receive information on fire safety basics, such as the correct placement of fire safety products in the home.

I not only wanted to raise awareness, but to also offer a solution.

Firesharp was founded because the owner, Ward Carapetyan, became an advocate of fire safety for children, adults and the elderly. When he came across the U.S. Fire Administration's (USFA) alarming statistics, which include facts like 82 percent of all fire deaths happen in the home and senior citizens who are 65 or older and children under the age of five are at the greatest risk of death from fire, he decided to take action.

"Too many people are either injured or killed in fires," says Ward Carapetyan, Firesharp's Owner and President. "I not only wanted to raise awareness, but to also offer a solution."

Firesharp's inventory includes a plethora of home safety items such as fire extinguishers, smoke alarms, auxiliary devices, carbon monoxide, and even combination smoke and carbon monoxide alarms. These products promote fire safety in the home and offer those who put them in the correct locations a peace-of-mind.

The staff at Firesharp is also always looking for new fire safety products so that Firesharp.com can offer its customer's the latest technologies for fire protection products. To ensure that customers can find these newest additions to the inventory, Firesharp.com has a whole section featuring new products.

Perhaps the best products that Firesharp carries to promote fire safety for children, adults and the elderly are fire escape window ladders. Firesharp recommends that the Kidde 2 and 3 Story Fire Escape Ladders be kept in every occupied bedroom on floors above the main level to ensure a quick escape route.

"We put the products into context by telling customers where to place the products," says Carapetyan. "We are encouraging customers to take action to protect not only their home, but to fulfill a social obligation as well."
