National Fire Protection Association Recommendations on Smoke Detectors

General

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 premises 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 owner 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.
