"We've used Frontpoint for years and been pleased. Over the Christmas holidays, we had a great deal of smoke in the house due to our lighting the fireplace with the flue closed. The Frontpoint fire alarms went off, as they should. The phone rang almost immediately with Frontpoint checking before calling the fire department.
