9. KIDDE RECOMMENDATIONS
Smoke alarms shall be installed outside each separate sleeping area in the immediate
vicinity of the bedrooms and on each additional story of the family living unit, includ-
ing basements and excluding crawl spaces and unfinished attics. In new construction,
a smoke alarm also shall be installed in each sleeping room.
Smoke Detection - Are More Smoke Alarms Desirable? The required number of
smoke alarms might not provide reliable early warning protection for those areas sep-
arated by a door from the areas protected by the required smoke alarms. For this rea-
son, it is recommended that the householder consider the use of additional smoke
alarms for those areas for increased protection. The additional areas include the base-
ment, bedrooms, dining room, utility room, and hallways not protected by the
required smoke alarms. The installation of the smoke alarms in the kitchen, attic (fin-
ished or unfinished), or garage is normally not recommended, as these locations occa-
sionally experience conditions that can result in improper operation.
