NATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION ASSN.
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 (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.
