# Siren & Safe

Home fire and carbon monoxide safety gear, evaluated against UL listings and NFPA 72 placement requirements.

## What this site is

Siren & Safe is a US-market reference site covering home fire and carbon monoxide safety: smoke alarms, CO alarms,
fire extinguishers, fire blankets and escape ladders, plus a dedicated section on where alarms go and how many
a dwelling needs. Every product claim states what the item is listed to (UL 217, UL 2034, UL 711, EN 1869) and
every placement claim cites NFPA 72 (2025) or the residential code by section.

## What this site does NOT claim

- We do not conduct our own fire, smoke or carbon monoxide testing. No laboratory, no test chamber, no burn tests.
- We publish no star ratings, no review counts and no customer testimonials. There are none to publish.
- We display no prices anywhere, because we do not cache retailer prices. Where a figure cannot be verified, the site says so.
- The author holds no fire-service, engineering or inspection credential and none is claimed.
