Locating and Positioning of Smoke Alarms:

connected to other smoke alarms.
If your dwelling is on a single storey, for minimum protection you should fit an
alarm in the hallway between the living areas (incl. Kitchens) and sleeping
areas. Place it as near to the living areas as possible and ensure the alarm
is audible when the bedrooms are occupied. If your dwelling is multi-storey,
for minimum protection one alarm should be fitted at the bottom of the
staircase with further alarms fitted on each upstairs landing. This includes
basements but excludes crawl spaces and unfinished attics.
NOTE: For maximum protection, an alarm should be fitted in every room
(except kitchen, bathroom, and garage).
DO NOT FIT AN ALARM IN THE KITCHEN or BATHROOM, as cooking
fumes or steam may trigger the alarm.
DO NOT FIT ALARM IN A GARAGE, as exhaust fumes are likely to set it
off.
