National Fire Protection Association
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 National Fire Alarm Code (NFPA 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: 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.
