National Fire Protection Assn./Smoke Detectors
With regard to the number and placement of smoke and 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.
