Recommendations for Smoke and Heat 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 #72, 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: For minimum
protection, a smoke detector should be installed outside of each separate
sleeping area, and on each additional floor of a multi-floor family living unit,
including basements. The installation of smoke detectors in kitchens, attics
(finished or unfinished), or in garages is not normally recommended.
For additional protection, 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.
