Of those people killed were 400 police officers and firefighters. Eighteen people were rescued alive from the rubble of the World Trade Center site. The 9/11 attacks were not only the single deadliest terrorist attack in human history, but the deadliest incident ever for firefighters and law enforcement officers.

    Aug 14, 2019 · original
    Part of protecting your home from invaders is keeping yourself updated with the latest threats. On Alarm.org we know that it’s no longer only about locking your doors or closing your windows, especially as more homes use smart devices that are connected to a network. Homeowners need to secure their Internet connection and be conscious of activities online. In fact, data from SmallBizTrends reveals that 48% of data security breaches are caused by acts of malicious intent, while the rest are due to human error or a system failure. This need for improved cyber protection is being felt across every aspect of everyday life, from personal computers to large corporations. Maryville University cites information from The International Data Corporation in 2018 stating that 75% of all cybersecurity officers reported directly to the CEO. A clear indication of how serious cybercrime is now being take

    The scariest day of the season is here! While ghoulish garbs and haunted houses are welcome and encouraged on Halloween, real scares are not. Here are a few Halloween safety tips from the Electronic Security Association (ESA) that can help keep your family safe from danger while trick-or-treating this year. Before you leave the house It’s important to plan your family’s safe Halloween outing in advance to avoid costume mishaps, dangerous routes and health hazards.

    “Every crucial experience can be regarded either as a setback, or the start of a wonderful new adventure, it depends on your perspective!†- Mary Roberts Rinehart THIS WAS THE CASE FOR ESA MEMBER, MARK THOMPSON OF SMITH THOMPSON SECURITY IN PLANO, TEXAS. In 1978, Thompson had aspirations of becoming a pilot for a commercial airline. That year, his father was tragically killed in a drunk-driving accident and while the funeral was being held out of town, the Thompson’s family home was being robbed. “I will never forget the depth of despair that my mother plunged to when she saw the drawers, our belongings, the mess strewn throughout the house – and even worse, the police fingerprint dust everywhere when we returned from the out-of-town funeral,” he says.

    Aug 23, 2018 · original
    STOP, DROP, and ROLL. A concept we are all too familiar with. One that most of us learned as children in school or with our parents. Such a basic concept, that does exactly what it needs to do: remind you of the proper procedure in the event of a fire. So how do you expand on it? Well, here’s one idea that’s proven successful. Incorporate 2-3 Labrador Retrievers to demonstrate stop, drop and roll – and other fire and life safety concepts – and you have yourself an engaged audience. After the passing of his nephew, Jeff Owens and his wife took home a special pup for comfort. The two didn’t know at the time, but this dog would offer so much more than a soothing nuzzle during difficult times – this dog would be the first Kasey, leading a legacy of life saving pups. In his 31 years as a firefighter, Jeff was always asked to teach fire safety at his son’s school. On a whim one time, Jeff brou
