We wanted to share an excellent video provided by UL about the differences between Legacy Fuel and Modern Fuel. Legacy fuel is from the furniture that used to be in our homes about 40 years ago. It's made of 3 basic materials; wood, cotton and silks. Modern furniture is what we all have in our homes now and its made up from petroleum products. As you can see from the video, the modern furniture burns rapidly, produces a tremendous amount of smoke, and quickly flashes over where the entire room catches on fire all at once. We can't really change what furniture is made out of, but we can install, and inspect our smoke alarms on a regular basis. Please take a minute to click your smoke alarms test button, listen for the alarm and if you don't hear anything either replace the battery or if the alarm is older than 10 years old, make a point of getting it replaced. Smoke alarms offer early notification and save lives. Please check yours today.
