RECOMMENDATIONS
ON SMOKE DETECTORS
With regard to the number and placement of smoke/heat detectors, we subscribe to the
recommendations contained in the National Fire Protection Association's Standard #74
noted below.
Early warning fire detection is best achieved by the installation of fire detection
equipment in all rooms and areas of the household 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, it is recommended that the householder consider the use of 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.
