FOR PROPER PROTECTION
THE FOLLOWING RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE LOCATION OF FIRE AND
BURGLARY DETECTION DEVICES HELP PROVIDE PROPER COVERAGE
FOR THE PROTECTED PREMISES.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR SMOKE AND HEAT DETECTORS
With regard to the number and placement of smoke/heat detectors, we
subscribe to the recommendations contained in the National Fire Protection
Association's (NFPA) Standard #72 noted below.
Early warning fire detection is best achieved by the installation of fire
detection equipment in all rooms and areas of the household as follows:
For minimum protection a smoke detector should be installed outside of
each separate sleeping area, and on each additional floor of a multi-floor
family living unit, including basements. The installation of
smoke
detectors in kitchens, attics (finished or unfinished), or in garages is not
normally recommended.
For additional protection the NFPA recommends that you install
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.
