Crime Prevention Security Systems

When it comes to protecting your home, fire safety is just as critical as security. At Crime Prevention Security Systems (CPSS), we believe peace of mind comes from knowing you’ve prepared for the unexpected—including fires. Whether it’s an electrical malfunction, kitchen accident, or lightning strike, a house fire can escalate in seconds. That’s why a proactive approach to fire protection is essential for every homeowner.

Why Fire Safety Matters

House fires are more common than most people think—and often preventable. Each year, tens of thousands of home fires in the U.S. result in injuries, loss of property, and even lives. The best defense is a combination of early detection, professional monitoring, and everyday safety habits.


CPSS Fire Protection: Smart, Monitored, and Fast

Our CPSS fire alarm systems go beyond the standard smoke detector. We provide professionally installed, 24/7 monitored fire detection systems that alert you—and emergency services—immediately if smoke or heat is detected.

With a CPSS fire protection system, you get:

  • Photoelectric smoke detectors for early, accurate detection
  • Heat sensors for areas like kitchens, garages, and attics
  • 24/7 professional monitoring from our Gainesville-based team
  • Instant alerts to your smartphone so you’re never out of the loop
  • Integration with your smart home system for total protection

Home Fire Safety Tips

Alongside your fire alarm system, here are key steps every family should take:

1. Test Your Smoke Alarms Monthly

Press the test button on each device to make sure it’s working. CPSS smart smoke detectors are monitored and will alert you if there’s an issue—but it’s still good practice to check.

2. Never Leave Cooking Unattended

Unattended stoves are one of the leading causes of house fires. Stay in the kitchen while cooking, and keep flammable items away from burners.

3. Keep a Fire Extinguisher Handy

Place extinguishers in the kitchen, laundry room, and garage. Make sure everyone knows how to use them (remember PASS: Pull, Aim, Squeeze, Sweep).

4. Create an Escape Plan

Make sure every family member knows two ways to exit each room and where to meet outside. Practice your escape plan twice a year.

5. Avoid Overloaded Outlets

Plugging too many devices into one outlet or power strip is a common fire hazard. If you notice flickering lights or warm plugs, call a licensed electrician.
