1. RECOMMENDED LOCATIONS FOR ALARMS

• Locate the first alarm in the immediate area of the bedrooms.
Try to monitor the exit path as the bedrooms are usually far-
thest from the exit. If more than one sleeping area exists,
locate additional alarms in each sleeping area.
• Locate additional alarms to monitor any stairway as stairways
act like chimneys for smoke and heat.
• Locate at least one alarm on every floor level.
• Locate an alarm in every bedroom.
