CTV News reports that a baby crying in the night may have saved the lives of family members.

Watch the full story here.

The baby’s mother, Monique Rupell, got up but was only able to take a few steps due to vertigo. She had to return to the bed. Her husband felt it as well. He did not feel well as he moved around the house and decided it was time to leave the home.

When Monique picked up her baby, the baby vomited, and then she realized her cat was unconscious on the floor.

Their home was full of carbon monoxide.

They were fortunate, but not everyone survives when their home fills up with carbon monoxide.

Do you have a carbon monoxide detector in your home? If you do not, your life could be in danger.

Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas that is produced when certain types of fuel is burned. If there is not proper ventilation around the burning fuel, then the carbon monoxide levels can build up to dangerous levels. Breathing in too much carbon monoxide can be fatal, if no fresh air is introduced.

In order to avoid this dangerous situation and keep your home as safe as possible for you and for your family, install carbon monoxide detectors in your home. You will need one on every level, as well as one in the garage.

If you own of business of any kind, business security cameras are a critical tool in protecting yourself in the event of robbery.

Three men robbed a car dealership in Houston recently. The ANF Auto Finance store had previously invested in a high quality security camera, and this decision made it possible to identify the robbers and led to their arrest.

The pictures the camera caught were very clear, unlike lower grade video security cameras which make it difficult to make out facial features and identify suspects. The higher grade the picture, the more likely criminals will be identified and arrested.

Cameras place both inside and outside the store caught the suspects on surveillance video. Two of the men stole various items from the victims (such as wallets, purses and phones) while a third man stood as a lookout.

The good news is that all three were arrested and held without bail.

The full story is reported here.

A home burglary can happen to anyone at any time. But did you know there are some key facts about burglaries that can help you stay safer in your home? Knowledge is indeed power when it comes to home invasion. By understanding some critical facts about home burglaries, you can take steps to keep your family safer.

Here are some important facts to keep in mind about home burglary and how to protect yourself:

1. Your home is most likely to be burglarized during the day when no one is there. This is probably due to the fact that more women are working away from home during the day, meaning the houses are unoccupied for several hours. The result is that most burglaries happen on weekdays as opposed to the weekend.¹

Tip: Install motion detectors with video verification in your home. This allows a monitoring company to verify that the motion detector has been tripped by a person and can contact the authorities on your behalf.

2. Some houses are at higher risk for being burglarized than others. Once such type of house is a house without a dog. When a dog is present, it is a close substitute to a person being present in the home. Dogs can bark (alerting others) and can also be dangerous, threatening to harm the intruder. In fact, many burglars will attempted to avoid breaking into a home that has a dog.²

Tip: If you are an animal lover, consider adopting a dog for companionship and security.

3. If a house in your neighborhood has been recently burglarized, your home is more likely to be burglarized as well. Criminals tend to return to neighborhoods in which they have had previous success.³

Tip: If a burglary has recently taken place in your neighborhood, as for increased police patrol along your streets. In addition, install a home alarm system and place signage in your yard indicating that you are protected. Criminals are less likely to break into a home with a home alarm system.
