Students aged 17-24 have a higher risk of non-fatal fire-related injuries than those in much older demographics. Halls of residence are prone to false fire alarm activations, which are much more than a nuisance: not only do they interfere with both sleep and study but also lead to 'alarm fatigue', where students become desensitised to fire alarms, adversely affecting their response time in the event of a real fire.
Traditional fire safety equipment – including heat and smoke alarms – are prone to false alarms and only intervene after a fire has started. Airis stove guards work proactively, monitoring heat levels, human presence, and cooking patterns to detect fire risk and automatically shutting off power to the stove to stop cooking fires before they start.
During the trial period the student accommodation kitchens involved had just one false alarm activation. In the same period in the previous year, these premises had eleven false alarm activations. So, the early intervention of the Airis stove guards has contributed to a substantial reduction of unwanted false alarm activations and unnecessary evacuations.
