10. NFPA REQUIRED PROTECTION

For your information the National Fire Protection Association's Standard 72, provides information regard-
ing the fire detection equipment required within the family living unit. And reads as follows:
Smoke alarms shall be installed outside each separate sleeping area in the immediate vicinity of the bed-
rooms and on each additional story of the family living unit including basements and excluding crawl
spaces and unfinished attics. In new construction a smoke alarm should be installed in each sleeping
room.
This represent the minimum number of alarms required by this standard. It is recommended that the
householder consider the use of additional smoke or heat alarms for increased protection for those areas
separated by a door from the area protected by the required smoke alarms.
The recommended additional areas are living room, dining room, bedroom(s), kitchen, attic (finished or
unfinished), furnace room, utility room, basement, integral or attached garages, and hallways. However,
the use of additional alarms remains the option of the householder". This equipment should be installed
in accordance with the National Fire Protection Association's Standard 72 (NFPA Batterymarch Park,
