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

Early warning
fire detection is best achieved by the installation of fire
detection equipment in all rooms and areas of the household 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 householder consider the use of heat
or smoke detectors in the living room, dining
room, bedroom(s), kitchen,
hallway(s), t ttic, furnace room, utility and storage rooms, basements and
attached garages.
