One of the greatest fears of any home owner is fire.
It starts suddenly, takes away everything and leaves nothing but a pile of ash in its wake.
We do everything in our capability to prevent this but sometimes catastrophes such as these just happen regardless of how much we prepare.
Luckily, there are fire shelters which can protect your belongings as well as you and your family against fire.
These shelters are a great way to protect you from a fire since they reflect radiant heat, prevent convection heat from entering while trapping in a supply of breathable air.
But since the space is limited and the shelter is airtight once the doors are closed, you should take note of how many objects are inside.
Every item will displace a certain volume of breathable air, so you should only put in objects that are really of value to you.
And you should only enter the shelter if the situation have escalated to a dangerous level and once the doors have been locked, you should keep it shut to prevent the fire and smoke from getting in.
You should also tell your friends that you have a fire shelter at home so if ever something does happen, they can inform the firefighters of your location so they can rescue you since you have no idea if the flames have been put out when you are already inside the shelter.
All in all, the fire shelter is a great way to protect your most valuable possessions from the dangers of a fire and that of course includes you and your families lives.
