As far as I know it does not exist as a consumer product. Such a signal
could be incorporated into an automatic home fire alarm system but I
suspect the cost might well be more than most folks would like to pay.
It would be done by connecting a flame detector to a supervisory zone
and routing one of the zones outputs to a low level alert sounder.
