Smoke Detectors for Minimum Protection
Smoke Detectors for Additional Protection
Heat-Activated 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 #74
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: 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, 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.
