Smoke Detector Recommendations
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 #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. The equipment should be installed 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.
