Quick tip - stovetop fire suppressant

[Ryan Scott Isacksen]

I wanted to share with the community some low cost added security you can put into your rentals (or even your own home).  I received this recommendation from an insurance company for a set of properties the management company I work for helps take care of.

This is a device that hangs over a vent hood and has sort of a fuse that a stove top fire will set off to drop fire suppressant and protect both your property and people inside.  You may be able to get a discount on your insurance with them too.

A few options out there are:

• Stovetop Firestop (http://www.stovetopfirestop.com/) - available from HD supply
• Auto-Out (http://auto-out.com/) - sells direct
• SmartX (http://www.smartx.net/html/how_it_works_the__smartx_autom.html)

Hope this info helps someone.
