Smoke Detectors for Minimum Protection
Smoke Detectors for Additional Protection
Heat-Activated Detectors
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.
