WHERE TO INSTALL SMOKE ALARMS

INSTALLING SMOKE ALARMS IN SINGLE-FAMILY AND MULTI-FAMILY RESIDENCES
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), recommends one Smoke Alarm on every floor, in every sleeping
area, and in every bedroom. In new construction, the Smoke Alarms must be AC powered and interconnected. See
"Agency Placement Recommendations" for details. For additional coverage, it is recommended that you install a
Smoke Alarm in all rooms, halls, storage areas, finished attics, and basements, where temperatures normally
remain between 40˚F (4˚C) and 100˚F (38˚C). Make sure no door or other obstruction could keep smoke from reach-
ing the Smoke Alarms.
