With regard to the number and placement of smoke/heat
detectors, we subscribe to the recommendations
contained in the National Fire Protection Association's
(NFPA) 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, 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.
