Currently 90 per cent percent of regular fire alarms are false. Fire brigades must investigate every alarm logged and it causes enormous inefficiencies.

We tested a demonstration device in an office building and at a recycling centre. We used an employee smoking room for the office demonstration, and the recycling centre had a lot of dust and activity. Both were ideal locations to generate false alarms, but the IMOS worked perfectly.

We started off with the idea of developing a system using several sensors that could eliminate most of the false alarms.

I don't believe that anti-Semitism is this kind of raging worldwide forest fire that the movie gives you the impression it is. He's spoken to these fringe folks, and they're going to say the goofy and hateful things they always say, and a movie's worth of that stuff is going to warp your perception of the reality of the size of anti-Semitism in the world. It's not that bad.

If my house caught fire I would save myself and anyone in there and I would try and save all the diaries and letters that I have collected as everything else is replaceable. And I would sit on the lawn watching my house burn cherry red and record it in my diary.
