Abstract
The invention is a Christmas tree ornament that incorporates a smoke or fire detector, a burglar alarm operated by a motion sensor, and connects to an integrated fire extinguishing system. The Christmas tree ornament resembles a star, but can also be designed to reflect an angel, or any other Christmas tree decoration that typically rests on top of the Christmas tree. A fire extinguishing system connects to the ornament and runs the length of the tree to the fire extinguishing fluid reservoir that is located in a unit that rests on the floor. The invention is powered by an electrical cord as well as a battery backup. A speaker is integrated into the device, and features the same high sound level capability of traditional smoke detectors.
