Fire Safety in Retirement Living
Airis stove guard provides the very best fire safety for retirement living, protecting residents from kitchen fires and toxic smoke inhalation without any need to take away their right to cook for themselves.

- Prevents fires and toxic smoke
- Allows people to cook on their stove, their way
Keep retired residents safe from kitchen fires
Protects residents' investments
Airis is a proactive safety device, which means a significantly lower risk of fire as well as smoke damage. Residents can live independently and safely.
Genuine fire prevention
Older technology doesn’t prevent fires; it waits for them. Airis protects residents from the risk of fire and toxic smoke inhalation.
Reduces management overhead
A decreased activation of fire alarm systems and smoke alarms results in a better deployment of resources.
Airis stove guard prevents fires intelligently
As we age, we can become forgetful, especially if we develop dementia. With Airis, residents can continue to cook for themselves without having to worry that they might accidentally leave their cooking unattended.
Airis provides peace of mind for the residents and management personnel in the knowledge that smoke detectors, heat sensors and sprinkler systems won’t be activated by cooking incidents.
Additionally, in Extra Care and Assisted Living, Airis can have a huge impact on a person’s life.

- Eliminating false alarms caused by cooking
