Every skilled professional needs the right tools to succeed → Get the right tool for YOU at SUPPLY HOUSE - Use code SL5 for 5% off! Code applies to purchases under $1,000 and first time buyers.

This past Thanksgiving holiday, In November 2025, a fire in Hong Kong killed hundreds. Residents heard NO alarm. By the time they realized what was happening, it was too late.

That's not just a tragedy — it's a wake-up call about why fire alarm systems aren't optional. They're the difference between escape and disaster.

In this episode, we break down:

How fast fire actually spreads (spoiler: you have less than 5 minutes)

Why the Hong Kong towers went up so fast (bamboo scaffolding + plastic netting = fuel ladder from hell)

What temperatures you're dealing with in a real fire (600°F at eye level)

Why proper fire alarm design isn't just code compliance — it's your only shot at getting people out alive

If you're an electrician, fire alarm tech, or anyone in the trades — this is YOUR reminder that the work you do literally saves lives.
