Ranked #65,387 in Home & Garden, #1,075,121 overall
Introduction
According to the statistics released on July 2009 by the Fire Statistics Monitor of the Department of Communities and Local Government in the UK, there were 411,000 incidents of malicious false alarms in the UK in 2008. These false alarms were attended to by the Fire and Rescue Services in the United Kingdom from 1 October 2007 to 30 September 2008. This is a pretty high figure which should be of great concern for everyone.
Think about it
Think about it. Each incident of malicious false alarm that is attended to by the Fire and Rescue Services means thousands of pounds in lost public funds. More, importantly, these exhaust government resources and hamper operations in cases where a real fire actually breaks out. At the same time, too many false alarms also desensitize building occupants and prevent them from acting accordingly when a real fire occurs. In most cases, vandals also destroy equipment by repeatedly using and misusing these for no real reason. With these in mind, building managers must be able to enforce some sense of security to prevent false alarms from happening and, at the same time, protect valuable fire safety equipment from vandals, thieves, and other entities. This is where an STI stopper enters the picture. STI stopper

How can I tell which one do I need?
From the names themselves, you would know which product is for what type of equipment. For example, Fire Alarm Stoppers prevent false alarms by providing a tamper-proof covering over a fire alarm. These are normally used in nursing homes, hotels, schools, sports halls and other locations where false alarms normally abound. Meanwhile, Exit Stoppers are placed on top of fire exits such that when the door is used illegally, then the device will sound an alarm. On the other hand, Extinguisher Stopper Alarms prevent theft, misuse, and mishandling of fire extinguishers. fire warden
Conclusion
These alarms are normally affixed on a wall and are connected to the neck of a fire extinguisher with a short cable. If the ifre extinguisher is removed from its location in cases other than an emergency, the cable will drop out of the alarm, after which a 95db alarm will ensue.Where can I buy these?
STI stoppers are available almost anywhere. For more information regarding these, you may check out online resources and local fire safety experts.
