Not every resident can hear the alarm.
Bellman supports community safety programs that provide accessible alerting equipment for residents who may not reliably hear standard alarms or emergency signals.
Bellman systems are the only UL-certified fire safety solutions designed specifically for people who are deaf or hard of hearing. Our systems do not require installation support and can be used as part of accessibility-focused Community Risk Reduction projects.
