NATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION ASSOCIATION
RECOMMENDATIONS ON SMOKE DETECTORS
General
With regard to the number and placement of smoke/heat detectors, we
subscribe to the recommendations contained in the National Fire Protection
Association's Standard #74 noted below.
Early warning fire detection is best achieved by the installation of fire
detection equipment in all rooms and areas of the premises as follows: A
smoke detector installed outside of each separate sleeping area, in the
immediate vicinity of the bedrooms and on each additional story of the
family living unit, including basements and excluding crawl spaces and
unfinished attics.
In addition, it is recommended that the owner consider the use of heat or
smoke detectors in the living room, dining room, bedroom(s), kitchen,
hallway(s), attic, furnace room, utility and storage rooms, basements and
attached garages.
