Next.

Casey Roman:

This little cam packs a big punch. Keeping your house from burning down, keeping your family alive.

Speaker 1:

Now find out if the Fire Stop extinguisher really works when American Now returns.

Leeza Gibbons:

Do you like to cook at home?

Bill Rancic:

I know you do.

Leeza Gibbons:

Yes I do.

Bill Rancic:

Those gourmet meals.

Leeza Gibbons:

You should know cooking fires though are the number one cause of house fires and related injuries and the biggest culprit, stoves and ovens left on attended.

Bill Rancic:

But there’s one product hanging around that might be able to help, the Stove Top Fire Stop. It’s like a fire extinguisher in a can and it might just save your life. Watch this.

Casey Roman:

Cooking dinner can turn into a disaster when grease gets enough heat and enough time to ignite a small flame and soon a stove top inferno all in just the few minutes you step away from that hot pan. That scenario devastates thousands of homes and lives every year except in the kitchens where a small device called Stove Top Fire Stop kills the flames. It’s essentially a fire extinguisher in a can.

Casey Roman:

A magnet holds it tight and out of sight inside the vent hood right above the burners. No fear of false alarms, the Fire Stop will only open when flames start kissing the bottom of the can. Even if a person is nowhere near the stove, they’ll know there’s a fire by the noise. Comparable to a gunshot that pop in the metal has the fortunate side effect of waking people up, getting their attention and saving their life.

Brent Sobol:

I would not own the apartment community without these.

Casey Roman:

After years of watching cooking fires destroy units and entire buildings, landlord Brent Sobol decided to install Fire Stops in every kitchen. 50 have gone off in the past five years, but instead of costing him hundreds of thousands of dollars in damages, a fire started in a pan now only costs him a new stove and a few cabinets.

Brent Sobol:

This is one of the most unbelievable things that has ever been created for the apartment industry because it works.

Casey Roman:

While strictly designed for residential stove top fires, keep in mind the fire stop is still just a supplement.

Lane Bradford:

This doesn’t take the place of good common sense.

Casey Roman:

Firefighters say never leave the stove unattended. The Fire Stop can act as a first line of defense but one that first responders hope you’ll never actually have to use. Casey Roman, American Now.

Bill Rancic:

So check this out. There are actually different types of fire extinguishers for putting out different kinds of fires. Make sense I guess.

Leeza Gibbons:

I didn’t know this but FEMA recognizes five classes of fire extinguisher, not all of them are right for your home.

Bill Rancic:
