ABSTRACT:
A safety apparatus is disclosed for providing information to a fire fighter concerning the number of occupants of each room of a dwelling in the event of a fire. The apparatus includes an activator disposed externally relative to the dwelling, the activator being activated by the fire fighter in the event of a fire. A transmitter is electrically connected to the activator such that when the activator is activated, a signal is sent to the transmitter, the signal triggering a secondary signal which is transmitted by the transmitter. A receiver is located in each room of the dwelling, each receiver receiving the secondary signal from the transmitter, the receiver generating a pulse corresponding to the secondary signal. A strobe light is located within the same room of the dwelling as the receiver, the strobe light being electrically connected to the receiver so that the strobe light is energized by the pulse from the receiver. The strobe light is positioned such that the strobe light is visible from outside the dwelling, the strobe light emitting a visible signal corresponding with the number of occupants within the room for indicating to the fire fighter how many persons occupy each room of the dwelling.
