More and more Norwegians dreams of having her own house. According to statistics, there are 427 of them in Norway. In addition, almost 000 year-round houses and farms are used as holiday cottages. Security expert Dagfinn Thorkildsen at alarm company Verisure says: "I'm afraid many people can't cope with the security of their own home, and Norwegians invest so much time and money in a holiday home that they should install an alarm in this place, which helps a lot, e.g. in the event of an emergency fire".

Security is the key

“Verisure offers a constantly monitored and reliable burglary and fire protection system with immediate warning and quick assistance. Additionally, it has the function of monitoring smoke detectors. The alarm ensures safety, regardless of whether we are at home or not. Moreover, we know from experience that alarm signs largely prevent burglaries," says Thorkildsen. According to data from the Directorate for Civil Protection and Situational Planning (DSB), in 2017 the fire brigade announced as many as 115 fires that occurred in houses. We must remember that the owner is responsible for his four walls, which should have appropriate smoke detectors and the necessary equipment to extinguish the fire.
