Packing all the power of an advanced photoelectric smoke alarm into a miniature design, the hottest product in fire safety, the First Alert® Atom™, was named a 2013 Chicago Innovation Award winner last night. The alarm combines a seemingly impossible compact, sleek design with an advanced smoke entry system for maximizing protection with a nod towards home decor and design.
The new Atom leads the home safety industry by meeting the demand for affordable smoke and fire detection that offers safety with a sense of style. Measuring just 1.5 inches in diameter and weighing less than two ounces, the Atom is offered in a number of decorative finishes – including wood grain, stainless steel and bronze – to blend seamlessly into any decor.
"Chicago is an innovation hub with talented business leaders who aren't afraid to be bold, be confident and try new approaches," said Tom Kuczmarski, co-founder with Chicago journalist Dan Miller of the awards. "Every winner of the Chicago Innovation Awards embodies this mindset, and each one has an inspiring story of achievement and vision."
"First Alert has pioneered category innovations time and again, earning it the distinction of being America's most trusted safety brand," said Mark Devine, Senior Vice President of Marketing for First Alert/BRK Brands. "The cutting edge design of the Atom is the latest in a series of affordable innovations we have launched into the market, including a complete line of designer safety alarms that include unique features of voice with location, smoke and combination smoke and carbon monoxide alarms all with nuisance alarm-resistant technology."
