1. RECOMMENDED LOCATIONS FOR ALARMS

•Locate the first alarm in the immediate area of the bedrooms. Try to monitor the exit path as the bedrooms are usually farthest from the exit. If more than one sleeping area exists, locate addi- tional alarms in each sleeping area.

•Locate additional alarms to monitor any stairway as stairways act like chimneys for smoke and heat.

•Locate at least one alarm on every floor level.

•Locate an alarm in every bedroom.
