The Vocal Smoke Alarm is a new smoke alarm system based on childrens sleep and auditory patterns. Our system detects smoke, but uses an innovative method to inform the child of the fire. The Vocal Smoke Alarm supplements the high-pitched beeps of conventional alarmswith spoken instructions recorded by parents or other caregivers.

Conventional smoke alarms have two serious limitations. First, although extremely loud,these alarms do not reliably awaken children;many children sleep right through the beeping.Second, if the child does wake up, these meaningless sounds give no instruction about whatto do to escape the fire. Children do not naturally know what to do in these emergencies.Sometimes they attempt to hide under beds or in closets, which can have tragic consequences.

The Vocal Smoke Alarms method of recording a parents voice addresses both of these problems. Of course parents rescue their children whenever possible, but when they cant getthere, the Vocal Smoke Alarm provides the next best thing. The Vocal Smoke Alarm bringsyour voice to your child when he or she needs it the most.

There are over 400,000 home fires each year in the United States. Young children are at particularly high risk in home fires. In fact, each year more than 40,000 children under age 14are seriously injured or killed in these residential fires. Fortunately, there is something parentscan do to help: Teach children what to do if a fire occurs in the home. Nothing is more effective at preventing injury in home fires than preparation and practice.
